Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 My daughter is 3.5 years old and had a lung CT scan this morning. This afternoon I was told that they found some bronchiectasis. She also had an enlarged pulmonary artery indicating likely pulmonary hypertension. She had a heart cath done last December and did have PH at the time but had open heart surgery in Jan and we had hoped that would correct the PH, although there were varying opinions on whether the small hole in her heart could be causing it. Well, now it appears as though she still has it. I know people with cf get bronchiectasis but how common is it in children this age? Is it bad that she already has some?
