Congenital Aortic Stenosis?!


Question: My son is 6 weeks old and was born with Aortic Stenosis and Aortic Regurgitation. He was born with a mild case but in 3-4 weeks it quickly progressed to moderate. He will be undergoing the balloon procedure very soon, I was wondering how many times can the balloon procedure safely be done, before he will need valve replacement?

Really your ped cardio should tell you this.
The long-term results of this procedure are still being studied.

With all sympathy, may I suggest you to concentrate on problem what you have at present? It should be hoped that the procedure will be successful and surgery won't be needed.
Good luck!
