The Rajasthan Chief Minister had undergone an angioplasty
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who had undergone an angioplasty on Friday after the detection of a block in one of his coronary arteries, is recovering well, said hospital officials on Saturday. Mr. Gehlot had been admitted at the Sawai Man Singh Government Hospital here, where post-operative and follow-up tests confirmed that he was recovering well. The hospital’s superintendent, Sudhir Bhandari, said Mr. Gehlot would spend the night in a ward at the Cardiology Department as a precaution. He was even made to walk in the ward, Dr. Bhandari said. A medical board would take a decision on his discharge on Sunday. “Though patients are usually allowed to go home 24 hours after an angioplasty, we are taking precaution with regard to the Chief Minister’s discharge in view of his post-COVID-19 complications,” Dr. Bhandari said.More Related News
