Chris Cairns In Intensive Care Unit Amid Aortic Dissection, Moved From Canberra To Sydney Hospital

Former New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns is being treated in an intensive care unit in Sydney hospital after suffering from an aortic Dissection and so far he has not responded well. Cairns was one of the best all-rounders to have played in World cricket with some serious hard-hitting skills with the bat and is a brilliant bowler as well.

Having represented New Zealand for almost 17 years in international cricket from 1989 to 2006, Cairns had produced numerous world-class performances that will stand out always. He played 62 Tests, 219 ODIs, and 2 T20 international games in the three formats for the Kiwis.

Chris Cairns Suffers From Aortic Dissection

Chris Cairns was given life support in Canberra hospital for the last week and he had gone through a lot of surgeries already. But the treatments haven’t been effective so far in Canberra hospital and he had to be moved to Sydney Hospital for better treatment. Aortic Dissection is a serious condition of tearing off an inner layer of the heart artery and it doesn’t look good at the moment.

“He is in a serious but stable condition in intensive care,” a spokesperson said from the Syndey hospital. Cairns who has been in Canberra for a long time now had to go through a lot of medical issues of late and the 51-year-old had emotional messages coming in from his former teammates including the likes of Chris Harris and Brendon McCullum.
