Congenital heart disease is a big spectrum of disease, The prognosis and cost of treatment it depends on which valve it is involved .please share the detail of the echo so that v can answer u well.
And balloon is safe procedure but every cardiac procedure has its own risk and it depends on the skills of the performing doctor.
If someone has advised u treatment, i think u should go for it.
And 6 year is a big child for a pediatric cardiologist.
V are trained to operate upon a one day old child.
Ans technical expertise is required for premature babies. So your child is quiet grown up
