A member asked:
Will my child need a heart transplant if he has pulmonic stenosis?
13 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
NO: I have had many patients with pulmonic stenosis and they have not needed transplants. Most people live a perfectly normal life. It depends on the degree of stenosis. Some people may need their valve replaced as adults. A cardiologist can offer more information.

No: Pulmonary stenosis (ps) without other heart problems is relatvely easy to manage. Only a small fraction of children with ps require any sort of repair, which is often possible with a catheter procedure rather than surgery. Heart transplant would not be considered unless there were other more severe cardiac issues in addition to ps.

No: There is an exception to every rule, but a heart transplant is not something i associate with isolated pulmonary stenosis.
