Request a 2nd opinion?

Sorry for the lengthy post.... My almost 8 year old daughter has 22q11.2 deletion (aka DiGeorge Syndrome, VCFS) She has multiple issue with her heart including ASD, VSD, IAA, Bicuspid Aortic valve, Aortic/Sub-Aortic stenosis, Aberrant left sub-clavian artery and a right aortic arch.  Her 1st OHS was to repair the ASD, VSD, and IAA.  Her second OHS was to relieve some of the aortic and sub-aortic stenosis, and then a 3rd to implant a pacemaker due to surgical complications from #2.  In "routine" cardiology follow-ups, a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was found and subsequently monitored.  During another follow up appt, they thought the aneurysm was growing. So, she was sent for a CT to get measurements.  The result of that CT scan showed the it was not growing, but she now has 2.  There was no change in treatment plan for her and we are still at 6 month visits with no talk of changes.  Do I need to get a 2nd opinion?
