Mohanakrishnan, Chief Cardiac Surgeon of a leading hospital, here told.He said the four major corporate hospitals in the city - Sri Ramakrishna, GKNM, KMCH and KG Hospital - on an average, perform 120 open-heart surgeries and a similar number of angioplasties in a month.Apart from Tamil Nadu, including Chennai, patients come from neighbouring States and also from Kolkata came to Coimbatore for cardiac treatment.
