What is Pulmonary Valve Stenosis?

Pulmonary Valve Stenosis, also known as Pulmonic Stenosis, is a dynamic or fixed obstruction of flow from the right ventricle of the heart to the pulmonary artery. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood. It may occur in association with other congenital heart defects as part of more complicated syndromes.

Narrowing of the pulmonary valve is most often present at birth (congenital).
