Kolkata, Jan 28, 2021:     Former India captain and Board of Control for Cricket in India president Sourav Ganguly underwent another round of angioplasty on Thursday and two stents have been inserted inside his artery for existing blockages, the officials of a private hospital where Ganguly is being treated in Kolkata said.

 

Sourav Ganguly was hospitalised for the second time this month after he complained of chest pain earlier this week. Ganguly was being monitored at the private hospital and the decision to implant two more stents was taken after examining his medical reports. A series of tests was conducted on Wednesday to assess Ganguly’s cardiac condition.

Earlier on Thursday, doctors who were monitoring Ganguly’s heath confirmed the situation was not alarming. West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar said on social media on Thursday that doctors and family members said the former skipper was doing fine after the medical procedure.

"Got an update on the health of @SGanguly99 Sourav Ganguly, President Board of Control for Cricket in India @BCCI under treatment at Apollo Hospital in Kolkata. As per doctors and family members, his condition is fine. Wishing Dada speedy recovery and early return to normalcy," Dhankhar said in a tweet.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also paid a visit to the Kolkata hospital and checked on Ganguly’s health on Thursday.

Ganguly was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries then and had a stent implanted in his right coronary artery in another hospital. Ganguly had spent five days at the hospital before he was discharged after the doctors termed him clinically fit on January 7.
