South film industry superstar Rajinikanth was admitted to Apollo Hospital, Greams Road, Chennai on 30 September 2024. Inflammation was found in the main blood vessel (aorta) connected to his heart, which has been cured by medical experts through a non-surgical procedure. This procedure was done in a 'transcatheter' way, in which a stent was inserted in the aorta, which completely stopped the swelling in the blood vessel.

This complicated and latest medical procedure was performed by senior interventional cardiologist Dr Sai Satish. He used a technique called endovascular repair to repair the swelling of the aorta. According to the doctors, the procedure was completed successfully exactly as planned and Rajinikanth's health is now stable.
