[Radiological diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary stenosis (author's transl)].
Peripheral pulmonary stenosis is frequently associated with congenital heart disease and seen in childhood. It is rather rarely discovered in adult patients. In adults, however, it is detected as an isolated congenital deformity or as part of generalized congenital cardiovascular disease and may also be caused by collagen disease. The chest x-ray and nuclear scan demonstrate the condition, but pulmonary angiography is essential for positive confirmation.
