After the stent procedure, we found out that the ventricle pressures still read high. So, on Saturday the doctors ran some more tests, including another echo. This echo revealed that Grair’s outflow pressure (the pressure of blood flow coming out of the pulmonary valve to the lung) was indeed high, but not dangerously high. Again, this is now likely a outcome of the pulmonary valve conduit starting to become too small for Grair. The good...

It might have taken 6 hours (instead of the projected 3-4), but the the stent is in. The process involved placing Grair under anesthesia and attempting to expand the narrowing of the his pulmonary valve. Coming into the procedure, we knew the tube where the pulmonary valve is located had narrowed. It was a 12mm tube and we came to find that at one part it had narrowed to 6mm. This was causing a dangerously high pressure inside Grair’s...
