The Kauvery Hospital, in a statement, said: “Mr. Rajinikanth was admitted in Kavery Hospital, Alwarpet, Chennai on Thursday following an episode of giddiness. He was thoroughly evaluated by the expert panel of doctors and was advised to undergo Carotid Artery revascularization. The procedure was performed successfully today and he is recovering well.
