Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi will be shifted to Asian Heart Institute Mumbai for a bypass surgery and a heart valve replacement procedure.
Mr Gogoi was rushed to the Max Healthcare Institute Ltd on Saturday from the National Development Council meeting at Delhi’s Vigyan Bhavan after he felt uneasy.
Assam chief minister’s office told this newspaper on Tuesday that Prime Minister’s Office was coordinating with the Asian Heart Institute where Mr Gogoi will undergo the bypass surgery besides replacement of his heart valve which was troubling him for long.
Dr Pervez Ahmed, CEO and managing director of Max Healthcare Institute Ltd, who is looking after him said, “The angiography showed that two blood vessels in the heart have blockages of about 70 to 80 per cent each.”
