Peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis

Abstract

In addition to isolated stenosis in the main pulmonary artery (PA) and its central branches, the stenosis is routinely diffuse and bilateral and extend into the mediastinal or hilar and even the intraparenchymal pulmonary arteries. The term peripheral PA stenosis deals with PA stenosis and an intact ventricular septum, so tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia with a VSD are excluded [1, 2].
