The 48-year-old has been undergoing treatment at his home since he was discharged from the Woodlands Hospital following a mild heart attack earlier this month.
The cricket icon was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries, following which a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage.
A 9-member medical team was formed who then decided that Ganguly doesn’t need any further angioplasty for the remaining blockages in his coronary arteries.
Dr Rupali Basu, MD & CEO Woodlands Hospital, had earlier said that Ganguly will be able to resume his normal life in another 3 to 4 weeks once the remaining two blocked arteries are revascularised.
He recovered well and was discharged on 7 January. “I am fine,” the batting great had said after getting discharged.
Ganguly had also tested negative for coronavirus.
