Mild aortic stenosis means there is slight aortic valve closure resulting in mild leakage however the biventricular function is good so no need to worry but the problem may get rectified by itself once he grow up or it may require medication for that.

As it means that your son has 2 leaflets in his valves as compared to normal 3 leaflets. As of now it is causing mild restriction in the valve but it is not severe. In such cases you need to keep reviewing the echo every 6 months and if the severity increases your son will require a valve replacement surgery. Consult a paediatric cardiologist for your follow ups.

Dear lybrate user, - In this congenital disorder the aortic valve has two cusps instead of the normal four from birth - the progress in life depends on if some problem develops due to the valve & the child becomes symptomatic, there may not be any problem till adulthood - later on can be corrected by surgery.
