Suggest Treatment For Vacterl Syndrome

my son is 20 months old and was born with Vacterl syndrome where he was born with pulmonary aetresia where we almost lost him on the 6th of June 2013as he had gone into Cardiac arrest but was revived and then he was given a stent on the 17th of June 2013, he was also born with 3 holes in the heart which he just had fixed a large hole and 2 smaller holes which were all in the lower chamber of the heart, now both myself and my partner know that he will most likely have to have another stent or shunt put in around the age of 12 but we would like to know how old does a child with Vacterl Syndrome get to
