BCCI president Sourav Ganguly may be discharged from the hospital by next Wednesday. Even if he returns home, he will be under the supervision of doctors for the time being. The 9-member medical board will then decide whether to place two more stents.


On Monday, Board Secretary Joy Shah came to see Sourav on Monday. Former head of the board and another top BJP minister Anurag Tagore came. Although not currently directly in the board administration, Sourav has a good relationship with Anurag. It is said that affection played a big role behind his board presidency.


Prominent doctors from home and abroad, including Devi Shetty, a prominent cardiologist, were in a video meeting with the medical board on Monday. Doctors have suggested that heart bypass surgery is not needed at the moment. After Sourav was admitted to the hospital, doctors were worried about a 'blockage' in an artery in his heart.


The ‘danger’ of stent placement has been avoided for the time being.
After the meeting on that day, the doctors informed that Saurabh is in good health. He may be given leave the day after tomorrow. He will be kept under observation for the time being. Prominent cardiologist Devi Shetty is coming to see him tomorrow. His echocardiography test report this morning was satisfactory. Blood pressure and pulse rate are normal.


A blockage has been found in 3 arteries of Sourav's heart. Angioplasty stents have already been placed in the right artery. Whether angioplasty is needed in the two left arteries will be examined by FFR. Only then will it be decided to place two more stents. He may be kept under observation for a couple of weeks.


According to doctors, the perfusion scan will look at how much damage the artery block has done to the heart muscle. Sourav is undergoing treatment under the guidance of cardiologist Saroj Mandal. Cardiothoracic surgeon Ramakanta Panda was present at the meeting in a video conference. There was also a doctor from New York. The doctors of the medical board of the hospital also discussed with the interventional cardiologist Ashok Seth.


In addition to Sautik Panda, the medical board also includes cardiologists Saroj Mandal, Aftab Khan, SB Roy, cardiothoracic surgeon Bhabatosh Biswas, cardiac anesthetist Palash Kumar and Ashish Patra.


State Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited Saurabh at the hospital on Saturday. Other grassroots ministers and leaders also went. On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Sourav's wife Donna Gangopadhyay by phone.
