Sourav Ganguly Discharged from Hospital

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly was discharged from the hospital, where he underwent a fresh round of angioplasty to clear clogged coronary arteries. He'd be coming back to his normal life soon, the treating physicians said. 

Ganguly's health was stable after angioplasty, but the doctors examined him again on Friday, moving him from the critical care unit to the private room. He stayed in the hospital for four days before returning home on Sunday morning, reports The Indian Express.

The former left-handed batsman was on Wednesday afternoon rushed to Apollo Hospital on EM Bypass from his Behala residence as he felt “dizzy with slight discomfort in chest”.

A green corridor was created by the city police for his smooth travel to the hospital.

The decision to conduct an angioplasty was taken after cardiologist Devi Shetty went through reports of tests conducted on Ganguly and consulted doctors treating him at the hospital.

Ganguly had complained of chest pain at his residence about three weeks ago. He was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries at that time and had a stent implanted in his right coronary artery in another hospital.

The former India captain was visited by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the hospital on Thursday. She had earlier called him up in the morning to enquire about his health.
