Question
Is there a possibility of recurrence years after congenital aortic stenosis surgery?
Answer
Based on the patient’s age, it is recommended to replace the durable mechanical valve, as it is prone to thrombosis and requires long-term use of anticoagulant medication warfarin, along with regular checks of anticoagulation function. Surgery is beneficial in avoiding heart failure, but it should avoid trauma, as it may increase the risk of bleeding.
