  • My son had critical aortic stenosis at 6weeks of age....... He is now 14 and 2 open heart surgeries later.....tiz a tough haul and i keep my sanity by treating him as any other child/adolescent.

    Its our life but i would love to be a member of a support group for it. I live in Western Australia.

  • Hi, Louis had just had his 2nd Open Heart Surgery at the age of 5.5 and it was to replace the pulmonary valve, he was in and out in 5 days which was amazing !!! I am a member of Heartline Forum which is a VERY supportive group for all heart defects. I now have lots of grey hair LOL ;)

  • Hi. I grew up with aortic stenosis from a bicuspid aortic valve, and had a Ross Procedure when I was 43 years old.

    You have a beautiful and wonderfully mischevous-looking little boy.

    May he have decades of heart health ahead of him!

  • were you given the option of a prosthetic valve and warfarinisation??????? How did it happen for you?

  • @Durrantina

    No we wasnt given the option of what valve would be used. It was a pig/cow valve.

  • @StretchPhotography

    Thank you he is full of life X

see all

  • I am a 40 yr old a/s survivor, hehe. I wish your son all the health in the world!

  • my son has arotic stenosis and has already had 2 x open heart valvotomies..... His diagnosis is moderate now. He also had a balloon dilatation which did not last very long.... My Cardiologist reccommends the Ross

  • my daughter had a vsd closure at 22 months so I know how scary heart surgery can be I almost wish they had done her surgery early like they did his because it was so hard waiting everyday knowing she still had to have it done

  • HI! I´m writing from Argentina (sorry for my poor english). My son Ian is also affected by an A/S. He is now 5 years old and he was treated by a baloon catheterization. ¡He is incredible perfect!

    Me and my wife celebrate your succesfull story from the distance.

    LOve,

    Walter, Silvana, Paloma and Ian
