Haemashield graft fitted to the aorta

When I was a baby I had a harmashield graft fitted to my aorta. I have recently found out this has started to narrow. Has anybody else had this problem and how did it start to affect them. I have problems with my blood pressure. And doctors have had 2 MDT meeting about me but are stating its complicated and not really explaining why. I have been informed I could be facing surgery in 6 months. But then they have decided to leave it and not opted for a catheter to check the narrowing.
