Question

At what age is it most appropriate to perform interventional treatment for a 2-month-old newborn diagnosed with pulmonary artery stenosis?

Answer

According to current medical advice, if a newborn has mild pulmonary artery stenosis and can grow and develop normally without affecting daily life, there may be no need for immediate surgical treatment. However, for patients with moderate pulmonary artery stenosis, it is generally recommended to undergo surgery around the age of 20 when symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath after exercise begin to appear. If surgery is not performed in time, it may affect the patient’s ability to move and their quality of life.
