Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Pulmonary valve stenosis is a heart valve disorder that involves the pulmonary valve.
This valve separates the right ventricle (one of the chambers in the heart) and the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.
Stenosis occurs when the valve cannot open wide enough. As a result, less blood flows to the lungs.
