Renowned actor Rajinikanth was recently admitted to Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, for a critical cardiac condition on September 30, 2024. The 73-year-old superstar was diagnosed with a swelling in the aorta, the main blood vessel leaving the heart. Fortunately, the medical team successfully treated the condition using an advanced, non-surgical method.

Senior Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Sai Satish performed a transcatheter procedure, placing a stent in the aorta to completely seal off the swelling through an endovascular repair. The minimally invasive procedure allowed doctors to address the complication without open-heart surgery, reducing recovery time and minimizing risks for the veteran actor.

The hospital confirmed that the procedure went as planned and that Rajinikanth is in stable condition. The actor is responding well to the treatment and is expected to be discharged within two days, much to the relief of his fans and well-wishers.

The news has garnered widespread attention, with fans across the country expressing their prayers and support for the beloved superstar. Rajinikanth’s strong recovery is being seen as yet another testament to his resilience, both on and off the screen.
