On Wednesday, Khan underwent a medical procedure performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange. “The procedure, called DSA, has been accomplished successfully. He is fine, stable, and being shifted back to the ICU. By tomorrow, if all goes well, and God wishes, he will be off the ventilator. All in all, he is doing quite well, age is a factor and we understand, that is why the process of recovery takes a little time,” Dr. Parkar said.

Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is a minimally invasive imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels in detail. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream and using X-ray fluoroscopy to capture images. By digitally subtracting pre-contrast images from post-contrast ones, doctors can clearly see abnormalities such as blockages, aneurysms, or haemorrhages in the vascular system. DSA is often used in neurology and cardiology to diagnose and guide treatment for vascular conditions.
