Sourav Ganguly can have two more stents implanted for removing as many blockages in vessels of his heart, officials of Woodlands Hospital where the former Indian cricket captain is admitted said on Sunday.

Sourav, 48, who had suffered a “minor heart attack” on Saturday, was stable and spoke to family members on Sunday, said doctors and officials of the hospital.

The BCCI president had a stent implanted in his right coronary artery on Saturday afternoon. Sources said the cardiac event had taken place at 11am while he was working out on a treadmill at home. He reached Woodlands at 1pm and walked from his car to the hospital.

“Blockages were detected in three vessels. In such cases, there are usually two options for doctors, a cardiac bypass surgery or angioplasty to implant stents. In case of Sourav, since he is young and does not have any other complications, doctors are considering another round of stent implantation, instead of a surgery,” said Rupali Basu, the CEO of Woodlands.

A nine-member medical board will decide on Monday whether to do an angioplasty and implant stents to remove the blocks in the other two vessels, said Basu.

Sources said opinions about Sourav’s treatment were taken from at least five doctors from India and abroad, including Devi Shetty, a cardiac surgeon and the chairman of Narayana Health. Videos of the angiogram and implantation of the stent have been sent to these experts.

Doctors said the blockage and blood clot in the right coronary artery were more severe than in the other vessels and it caused the heart attack.

“Usually, a second round of implantation of stents is done within four to five days of the first round. But it’s up to Sourav and his family members to decide on this,” said a doctor.

Doctors said Sourav was stable and had an almost normal diet on Sunday. However, he is still in the ICU and under observation.

“There were many visitors but only family members were allowed to meet him because he is still in the ICU,” said an official of the hospital.

Sourav had slept well at night and had tea and breakfast on Sunday. “He mostly ate vegetables. His condition is improving and he spoke to his wife, daughter and other family members,” said Saroj Mandal, an interventional cardiologist who is treating Sourav.
