Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, 76, has undergone angioplasty (A minimally invasive procedure that widens narrowed or blocked arteries or veins) in Mumbai hospital, said the sources on Thursday. Yadav, who was admitted in Asian Heart Institute in Mumbai on September 10, underwent angioplasty on Wednesday, they said.

Yadav is expected to be discharged in a day or two, the sources added. "He was admitted again on September 10, 2024 at Asian Heart Institute for angioplasty by Dr (Santosh) Dora and Dr Tilak (Suvarna)," sources added. 

Earlier in July this year, Yadav was taken to AIIMS hospital in Delhi after his health suddenly deteriorated. Later, he was discharged after getting treatment.

In 2014, the former Union minister, 66 at the time, had underwent a six hour long aortic valve replacement surgery at Asian Heart Institute. He had visited the hospital for follow-ups in 2018 and 2023.

In 2022, Lalu was diagnosed with kidney ailment as only 25 per cent of his kidneys were efficiently working. Doctors advised a transplant, following which his daughter Rahini Acharya, who lives in Singapore, donated him one of her kidneys.
