Manmohan Singh likely to undergo angioplasty soon

Manmohan SinghNew Delhi, Jan 22, : Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh is expected to go through a cardiac bypass procedure soon, after facing extensive medical tests at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

One of the source told that PM may have to undergo a fresh angioplasty or a bypass surgery in the next few weeks.
