Stenosis of pulmonary artery is a condition where the pulmonary artery is subject to an abnormal constriction (or stenosis).[1]
It should not be confused with a pulmonary valve stenosis, which is in the heart, but can have similar hemodynamic effects. Both stenosis of the pulmonary artery and pulmonary valve stenosis are causes of pulmonic stenosis.
In some cases it is treated with surgery.[2]
