This is Kyles mom...my two year old has BAV w/ mild dilation at his aortic root.
My four year old has been checked by a cardiologist with an echo and told everything was fine.
He has had a cough for three weeks now. We got a chest xray yesterday. It revealed an "opacity at his aortic arch". The doctor said we must follow up due to the history w/ my two year old. We were told to follow up with a lung doctor.
The pediatrician actually called the doctor who did the echo and the cardiologist said he felt comfortable that his echo was normal. I even called the cardiologist this week just to confirm his echo was normal just from all I read about how genetic this BAV is and he affirmed to me again on the phone his echo was good.
Should I get prepared to find out that this finding is related to his aortic valve as well?
Please help...
