Patient's question:
A preterm baby weighing 1160 grams at birth now weighs 1800 grams at 43 days. The baby was born with aortic valve insufficiency. How much weight is needed for surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to your description of your child, your child has aortic valve insufficiency. Considering that some congenital aortic valve insufficiency can return to normal on its own, some require surgery. It is recommended that you wait for your child's follow-up examination to confirm the diagnosis and determine the surgical plan. If the closure is not very severe, you can wait and see, and consider whether to have surgery when your child is two years old. Wish your baby grows up healthy and happy!
