Former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa underwent an angiogram yesterday morning to evaluate her health status and pinpoint any potential blockages, according to Cabinet Spokesperson Minister Dr Nalinda Jayatissa. During a post-Cabinet media briefing, Dr Jayatissa explained that a medical board would review the test results and determine the appropriate course of action.
The doctor emphasized that no surgical procedure was performed at that time; only an angiogram was conducted. The medical board would decide if Rajapaksa needs coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), stent insertion, or any other form of treatment, the Minister stated. Recognizing the lengthy waiting lists for both bypass surgery and stent procedures, Dr Jayatissa assured that the Colombo National Hospital would arrange the required treatment promptly, depending on the medical board's recommendations and considering the individual circumstances.
