Subaortic Membrane removal in 3 year old

Subaortic Membrane removal in 3 year old

My son, then 3 years old (now 8), was diagnosised with a subaortic membrane.  He had no symptoms, except for a heart murmur, however no outward symptoms before, nor since to this day.  He has yearly echos to watch the area for growth and check the pressure.  What are the estimated chances of his having to have valve replacement as he gets older?  Is this a genetic disease?  Do children grow up to have other related problems who have this surgery?
