Hi doctor,
I am a 19 years old and I have supra-alveolar aortic stenosis. For the hourglass type, is there a chance for me to go back to sports after a year or period after the surgery? I would also like to know if the tissue placed in the heart grows with me or it will be replaced after some time.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You did not mention your symptoms. After surgery, echocardiography will be done to see the valve gradients. If normal, you may play sports, but after full healing of the surgical wound, which takes about six to eight weeks to heal. On the safe side, you may undergo another echo (echocardiography) after eight weeks of surgery combined with Dobutamine (a medicine given intravenously). If it is also normal, you can play sports. Yes, sometimes tissue grows again, but not always. Take echo (echocardiography) every 12 to 18 months to see the progression.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
