Former India captain and BCCI (Board Control for Cricket in India) president Sourav Ganguly, who underwent a fresh angioplasty, is stable and has been shifted to a private chamber, a senior official of the hospital where he is admitted said on Friday. Two more stents were implanted to clear the 48-year- old cricket legend's clogged coronary arteries.
"Sourav Ganguly's health condition is stable. He had good sleep at night. All his vital parameters are normal. He has been shifted to a private chamber from the CCU," he said.
Ganguly was hospitalised on Wednesday for the second time in a month due to his cardiac condition.
The former India captain was in intensive care unit (ICU) at the private hospital on Thursday night following the angioplasty, which was conducted by a team of doctors, including noted cardiologist Dr Devi Shetty and Dr Ashwin Mehta.
"Dr. Aftab Khan and the team comprising Dr. Ashwin Mehta, Dr. Devi Shetty, Dr. Ajit Desai, Dr.Saroj Mondal and Dr. Saptarishi Basu successfully performed angioplasty on Mr. Saurav Ganguly at the Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals, Kolkata on January 28, 2021 and two stents were placed," a statement from the hospital said. "The procedure was uneventful. Mr. Ganguly is stable and under close observation," the statement added according to media reports.
Ganguly had suffered a mild heart attack earlier this month and was diagnosed with Triple Vessel Disease. He had undergone an angioplasty procedure during which a stent was inserted into one of the blocked arteries.
He was working out at his residence on January 2 when he suffered the attack and was rushed to the hospital. He was discharged on January 7 after being declared clinically fit. A nine-member medical team was formed at the hospital to look after Ganguly then.
