I'm 19 weeks pregnant. yesterday i had an ultrasound. the cardiologist said the baby has a mild leaky heart valve. is this treatable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: It depends on which heart valve is leaking and the extent of the leak as to whether repair is needed in utero or after delivery.
