An Uttar Pradesh police personnel' s four-month-old daughter, who was born with both the coronary arteries on one side, has been given a 2021-date for a surgery by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

The man working in the surveillance team in the additional director general of police' zone in Allahabad has been asking for help from the Prime Minister and the Union health minister on social media for the past two months. The officer has now decided to admit her to a private hospital in the national Capital.
Sanat Kumar Singh has been tagging all the ministers in his posts on social media to save his daughter, Vaishnavi's life. The baby has both her coronary arteries on the same side and as per the doctors from AIIMS, she should be operated in the next few months. Singh, who has also worked in the social media team under the director general of Uttar Pradesh police, has not heard from anybody yet despite his constant efforts.
"There are two main arteries - the aorta and pulmonary artery; and two coronary arteries from each side. In very rare cases, these originate from one side causing an abnormal course. The abnormal course can cause the anomalous coronary artery to be squashed or kinked during exercise. If the blood supply to the heart is interrupted it can cause a heart attack or the heart to beat in dangerous fast rhythms that can be fatal. The cause of coronary artery anomalies is not known, however, they do not appear to be hereditary," said Dr Nabajit Talukdar, senior consultant, cardiology and cardio-thoracic surgery, Batra Hospital.
Vaishnavi, born in February, has been ill since the day she was born. While doctors have given May 10, 2021 for the operation, they also said that she should be operated soon enough. Earlier this month, AIIMS had given a 2023 surgery date to a four-month-old baby with a hole in her heart.
