BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, who has undergone angioplasty after suffering a heart attack on January 2, is keeping well and expected to be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days.

Ganguly was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries after which a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage. The procedure was performed at the Woodlands hospital in Kolkata.

The nine-member medical board of the Woodlands Hospital on Monday (January 4) stated that the angioplasty on the two other coronary blockages will be done at an 'immediate later stage'.

"The medical records and clinical condition of Sourav Ganguly were reviewed by the board members. The unanimous decision was that an appropriate timely excellent treatment of primary PTCA with revascularisation of RCA was rendered during the acute heart attack stage," the hospital said in the medical bulletin.

"The discussion was also on the two other coronary blockages viz LAD and OM2 need to be treated by angioplasty in this admission vis a vis doing it at an immediate later stage," the hospital added.

"The consensus of the board was that deferring the angioplasty for now is deemed to be a safer option since Ganguly is stable, without any chest pain and is on optimal medical management."

Addressing the media, Woodlands Hospital MD & CEO Dr Rupali Basu said that the former India skipper is likely to be discharged on Wednesday (January 6).

“Dr Devi Shetty is coming tomorrow. We will have another round of discussion. He is likely to be discharged on Wednesday,” she told reporters.

The hospital said that the doctors are keeping "constant vigil" on Ganguly's health situation and appropriate measures will be taken from time to time.

"Treating doctors will be keeping constant vigil on his health situation and taking appropriate measures daily at home once discharged," the hospital said.
