My 16 year old son had open heart surgery last December due to Anomolous Coronary Artery. During the re-implantation surgery they removed a flap of his aortic valve. Initially all was well, but now his valve is leaking severely and we learned he will need an other OHS. Devasating. We decided to go to Boston Childrens. Dr Baird will be performing his surgery on 10/29. Are there any parents of teens out there in a similar situation?
