The insignificant stenosis of a pulmonary artery can proceed without any symptoms. At the expressed narrowing at the patient arise:
- bystry fatigue
- dizziness and faints
- asthma

- skin cyanosis at an exercise stress
Reasons of the Stenosis of the mouth of a pulmonary artery:
- inborn heart disease
- the acquired heart disease at which narrowing happens due to vegetations in case of an infectious endocarditis or various tumors of heart
Treatment of the Stenosis of the mouth of a pulmonary artery:
In case of identification of vegetations or a tumor of heart which caused a stenosis of the mouth of a pulmonary artery surgery during which these educations are removed is performed.
If this heart disease inborn, then is carried out a vulvuloplastika (expansion of an opening between a right ventricle and a pulmonary artery by means of the special cylinder entered into it).
