pulmonary bicuspid valve

pulmonary bicuspid valve

my son (1 month) just had surgery on his heart. what he had was transposition with vsd and inverted coronary arteries. this has all been repaired however he still has a pulmonary bicuspid valve. what are the chances he will need more surgery and will this limit his activities and or diet?

Dear Elena

No one can really predict. Potentially, nothing will need to be done in the future. If the valve develops significant leakage or tightening with time, it may need to be replaced. He will need periodic evaluation by his cardiologist to monitor for this.

I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck.
