A nine-member board of senior doctors discussed the BCCI president’s condition on Monday and reached an agreement that angioplasty can be deferred to a later date as the 48-year-old was stable and is recovering well.
'The medical board came to a consensus that deferring angioplasty, for now, is a safer option as Mr. Ganguly is stable, does not have chest pain and is on optimal management,' Dr. Basu, a member of the board, said.
Treating doctors will keep a constant eye on his health condition and take appropriate measures at his home after he is discharged, Woodlands Hospital MD and CEO Dr. Rupali Basu said.
