Overview
Supra valvular pulmonary artery stenosis is defined as stenosis of the pulmonary artery above the level of the valve area.
Anatomy
1. Also called peripheral pulmonary stenosis.
2. May have one or many stenoses of the PA or its branches.
3. Infrequently occurs as an isolated lesion, more commonly occurs as part of Tetralogy of Fallot.
Diagnosis
Physical Examination
1. The murmur is most prominent at the upper left sternal border, axillae, and the posterior lung fields.
