Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray has been admitted to Reliance hospital in Mumbai for a check-up. The visit was part of a pre-planned detailed check up at the Hospital, his son and Yuva Sena President Aaditya Thackeray said.
"With your best wishes, All is well, and he is fully ready to get to work and serve the people," he said in a post on X.
Thackeray, who has a history of angioplasty, reportedly underwent a check-up to detect blockages in the heart's coronary arteries.
In 2016, Thackeray underwent angiography at the Lilavati Hospital. The procedure was a follow-up to the angioplasty which he had had on July 20, 2012, when doctors put in eight stents to remove the multiple blockages he had in three main arteries in his heart.
The 64-year-old underwent a second angioplasty in November 2012. At the time, the doctors removed the blockages in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), which was blocked by almost 60 per cent.
Then his son Aditya Thackeray had issued a statement that it was a pre-planned check up. "We do an angiogram usually one-two years from the angioplasty to make sure the stents are working…The same procedure was followed for Uddhav," Dr Mathew Kalarical of the Lilavati Hospital had then said, according to news agency PTI.
"All the stents are working with normal blood flow and arteries. It means he can get back to normal active life without any restrictions," he added.
