On August 17, 2026, Union Health Minister JP Nadda underwent a successful angioplasty procedure at the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi. According to an official statement by the hospital, the Minister is currently stable and being closely observed in the Department of Cardiology.
An angioplasty is a medical procedure that involves widening narrowed or blocked heart arteries using a thin tube (catheter) equipped with a balloon. Following the inflation of the balloon, a stent is often inserted to keep the artery open and prevent the blockage from recurring.
The Minister's health condition was reported to be stable following the procedure, though it is noted that full recovery and normalcy will take time. Earlier this week, Nadda had been admitted to AIIMS on August 13 after experiencing unease in the evening. Following a series of tests, including a coronary angiography, he was deemed suitable for the angioplasty.
The angiography was performed to detect any blockages in the heart's arteries and assess the extent of obstruction in each artery. Based on the results, it was determined that the procedure was necessary, either via stent placement or medication, to restore proper blood flow.
