This morning we spoke with Dr K, our primary cardiologist. She repeated the echo and had far better quality scans. She feels that the diagnosis is not as clear as we were told last night.
She measured the AV at 5mm, not 4mm, and says this is borderline - not stenotic. There is some mild turbulence but not severe. The coarctation is clear as is some narrowing in the arch. The left side seems viable.
On her opinion we might do the anastamosis arch repair first and then evaluate the AV function. The valve is bicuspid. She does not think the Ross Kono procedure is indicated yet.
We are waiting to hear whether she will be able to have a full consult with the Children's surgical and cardiac team tomorrow morning
