He was diagnosed at birth with congenital heart disease (Corrected TGA with large VSD). At that time and again at age 5, doctors said surgery would be very risky, so it was not done. Now he is 23 years old. His recent echo report shows: - Corrected TGA - 1.3 cm Ostium Secundum ASD (but we were told it might be 1.3 mm – need clarification) - Moderate mitral regurgitation - Normal biventricular function Currently, he does not have major symptoms. I have a few doubts: 1. What exactly is his current condition – is it serious or stable? 2. Is surgery needed now or can it be managed with monitoring? 3. What is his expected long-term outlook (life expectancy)? 4. Should we repeat the echo to confirm the ASD size? Please guide us on what to do next and how to manage his condition properly. Thank you.

How has your brother's overall health been since his last echo?:

- Very good, no issues

Has your brother experienced any new symptoms recently?:

- No new symptoms

What kind of monitoring has he undergone since his last surgery?:

- No follow-up since last echo

What is your brother's current level of physical activity?:

- Very active, exercises regularly

Has there been any family history of heart conditions?:

- No known family history

What did the doctor say about the need for surgery during the last visit?:

- No specific mention of surgery

Is your brother currently taking any medications for his heart condition?:

- No medications
