A team of doctors led by Dr Seshagiri Rao, head of cardiology at the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (Nims), conducted the angioplasty.
Angioplasty is a technique in which the obstructed blood vessel is widened. According to Dr Rao, two stents have been put in. His condition is stable.
Raju, an inmate of Chanchalguda jail, was admitted to Nims on September 7 after he complained of chest pain. Doctors later confirmed that he suffered a heart attack. Raju is also suffering from acute Hepatitis C and reportedly high levels of liver enzymes.
Rao said the treatment for Hepatitis would begin after consulting an expert team. The treatment for liver disorder is generally a long drawn process.
