Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad, who has been admitted to a hospital here, will undergo multiple cardiac surgeries on Wednesday, doctors said.
Mr. Prasad has been diagnosed with aortic stenosis. He will undergo two operation procedures — aortic valve replacement (AVR) and aortic repair — said Vijay D’Silva, medical director, Asian Heart Institute, in a statement on Tuesday.
Mr. Prasad was admitted to the hospital on Monday for a detailed medical evaluation. “Laluji is fundamentally a healthy person, as can be seen from the intense campaigning he has done,” Dr. D'Silva said.
The former Bihar Chief Minister is under the observation of cardiac surgeon Ramakant Panda, who is known for conducting surgery on the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
“No heart surgery is simple,” said Dr. Panda.
