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.

Physical Examination

1. The murmur is most prominent at the upper left sternal border, axillae, and the posterior lung fields.
