Sourav Ganguly Health News Live Updates: Sourav Ganguly is one of the most loved Indian cricketers and the news of his heart attack has shocked his fans to the core. Former Bengal cricketer Laxmi Ratan Shukla paid him a visit, it is also reported that some local BJP leaders are at the scene too. His daughter Sana has now reached the hospital.

What is Angioplasty? In which artery it was done and why it was required in Sourav Ganguly’s case?
Angioplasty is a procedure to restore blood flow through the artery, in which doctor inserts a thin tube through a blood vessel in the arm/groin up to the artery, which needs to be opened through a tiny balloon attached to a tiny metal spring on the end of the tube. Once inserted, the doctors inflate the tube which helps the tiny metal spring to expand and opens the blocked artery. The entire process is known as Stenting. Doctors performed an Angioplasty in Right Coronary Artery and decisions to remove blockage from the other two arteries will be taken on Monday.
