Ganguly out of danger but could require another angioplasty

Published on: 

BCCI president and former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who underwent angioplasty after a “mild” heart attack on Saturday, is stable and his health parameters are normal, doctors said on Sunday.

He was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries on Saturday, following which a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage.

“He had an uneventful last night and presently is Afebrile (not feverish). He is sleeping now,” said a statement issued by the private hospital where Ganguly is admitted.

The celebrated former cricketer’s blood pressure is 110/70 and oxygen saturation level is 98%, the statement added.

Doctors said they will be deciding on conducting another angioplasty after accessing Ganguly’s condition.

“He will be requiring another angioplasty because of the triple vessel disease. But, that depends on how his condition is. He is, however, out of danger now,” one of the doctors treating Ganguly had said on Saturday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday spoke to Sourav Ganguly who underwent angioplasty after suffering a “mild” heart attack, and enquired about his health.

Official sources said Modi also spoke to the cricket administrator’s wife Dona Ganguly.
