The most important part of this
condition is to watch the aortic root dilation. There are normal
measurements for the aortic root at every age and size and the
doctors will be monitoring how wide the root of the aortic is
(how dialated it is) at almost every 6 months to one year they
may want to do an ultrasound to determine the extent of that
dialation.
Should the width reach a size
above 5 centimeters (the normal size is 2.5 centimeters or 1
inch in an adult) the doctors may recommend replacing the root
of the aorta. |
