The actor is currently admitted at Bellevue Hospital in Mumbai's Andheri area. Doctors have told the media that the actor is doing fine now. The 47 year old is an acclaimed actor and has several films to his credit in Hindi and Marathi cinema.
Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels, typically coronary arteries supplying the heart. During the procedure, a catheter with a deflated balloon is inserted into the affected artery, then inflated to widen the vessel and improve blood flow. Often performed to address atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of heart attacks, angioplasty may involve the placement of a stent, a small mesh tube, to help keep the artery open. This minimally invasive intervention can alleviate symptoms of angina and enhance blood circulation, promoting cardiovascular health without the need for open-heart surgery.
