BCCI President Sourav Ganguly was taken to Apollo Hospital in Kolkata on Wednesday after he complained that he was unwell. He was admitted to CCU 142, a separate room within the Critical Care Unit, at Apollo Hospital. According to the latest development in Ganguly’s health, the hospital has reported that the cricketer is “absolutely stable.” Doctors will receive a call for the second angioplasty on Wednesday night, the surgery will be performed mainly on Thursday.
There have been minor changes to Sourav Ganguly’s electrocardiogram (ECG) report, according to the hospital. The 48-year-old former cricketer is being closely monitored by doctors at Apollo Hospital in Kolkata. Ganguly’s doctors have confirmed that his situation is not alarming. He will be monitored further before he receives a call Thursday about the second stent that may be needed.
The former captain of India was recently in the hospital after complaining of chest pain. He had undergone angioplasty and left the hospital after 5 days of continuous follow-up by the doctors. “I’m fine,” Sourav Ganguly had said after being discharged.
Sourav Ganguly was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries on Saturday, after which a stent was inserted into one to remove the blockage. Ganguly also tested negative for Covid-19 on Sunday.
A 9-member medical team was formed on Monday that later decided that Ganguly no longer needs angioplasty for the remaining blockages in his coronary arteries.
Dr Rupali Basu MD & CEO Woodlands Hospital, had previously told India Today that Ganguly will be able to resume his normal life in another 3-4 weeks once the two remaining blocked arteries are revascularized.
“I don’t think we are considering surgery at this time due to her young age and the advancement of angioplasty.
“But we are taking expert opinions from the best cardiologists in the country and the world and then we will have to take a call about what to do with the 2 blocked arteries and once this is done, another 3-4 weeks of rest and you should return to your active life And that’s what we want Dada to return to active life, “Dr. Basu had said.
