The president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Sourav Ganguly has been admitted to&nbsp;Apollo Hospital in Kolkata after he complained of chest pain on Wednesday.&nbsp;Further test reports suggest that Ganguly will need two more stents to be implanted and the angioplasty is likely to be conducted on Thursday in presence of noted cardiac surgeon Dr Devi Shetty.

According to reports, Ganguly had felt&nbsp;a slight pain in his chest on Tuesday but the pain increased on Wednesday&nbsp;and hence, he was shifted to the hospital without taking any further risks. He was rushed to the hospital for further check-up. He&nbsp;is currently stable and is likely to remain hospitalised for a couple of days.

"Dr Saptarshi Basu &amp; Dr Saroj Mondal of Woodlands hospital are attending Sourav Ganguly. Dr Aftab Khan will do the stenting at Apollo hospital tomorrow in presence of Dr Devi Shetty," said&nbsp;Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata in a statement.

Ganguly had suffered a mild heart attack earlier in January after which the former Indian captain was immediately admitted to Kolkata's Woodlands Hospital. Ganguly had suffered a sudden blackout during a workout session at his Behala resident on January 2.

Angioplasty was successfully carried on Ganguly's right coronary artery after the 48-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest. However, the other two damaged arteries too needed angioplasty but the doctors, after consulting Ganguly and his family, decided that the procedure would be done at a later date.

Ganguly was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries after which a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage.&nbsp;

Earlier in January, Ganguly was attended by noted cardiac surgeon Dr Devi Shetty, who had hinted that the 48-year-old may require an angioplasty at a later date but had confidently said that the former Indian captain can continue to work normally. The noted surgeon had said that the 48-year-old will be ready for next course of procedures or medical intervention after 2-3 weeks.

After being discharged from Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata, earlier in January, Ganguly had said:&nbsp;"I thank the doctors at the hospital for the treatment. I am absolutely fine. Hopefully, I will be ready to fly soon.

'I am absolutely fine': Sourav Ganguly discharged from hospital after treatment for cardiac arrest

The president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly is likely to be discharged from the Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata on Wednesday after the iconic former cricketer suffered a mild heart attack on Saturday.&nbsp;

Woodlands MD &amp; CEO Dr Rupali Basu told reporters on Monday that Ganguly is likely to be discharged from Wednesday and the former Indian captain is keeping well. Dr Basu further said that it was decided that angioplasty for two damaged coronary arteries would be done at a later date after consultation with Ganguly's family members.

“Our nine-member medical board met today at 11.30 am with reputed specialists on zoom platform. The consensus of the board was that deferring the angioplasty, for now, is deemed to be a safer option since Mr Ganguly is stable, without any chest pain and is on optimal medical management,” Dr Basu said at the press conference.

“The family members were present during the board meeting and were explained about the disease process and further therapeutic plan,” she added.

Angioplasty was successfully done on Ganguly's right coronary artery after the 48-year-old suffered a mild heart attack. Dr Basu said the other two damaged coronary arteries, too, need angioplasty but that would be done at a later date with surgery ruled out.

Asked when Ganguly is likely to be discharged, Dr Basu said: “Dr Devi Shetty is coming tomorrow. We will have another round of discussion. He is likely to be discharged on Wednesday.”

On Monday, Minister of State for Finance and former BCCI president Anurag Thakur visited Ganguly at the hospital while hoping that he would return back to “routine, normal life soon”.
