Nepal is currently recovering and his health is gradually improving. Doctors have advised him to take rest and continue with medical care for a few days.
Angioplasty is a non-surgical medical procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels in the heart. A wire is guided through blood vessels, typically via the thigh or arm, to the affected artery, where a balloon and a stent are used to restore proper blood flow. The stent, a small metal mesh tube, keeps the artery open and helps prevent future blockages.
