Stenosis, pulmonary: The pulmonary valve is too tight so that the flow of blood from the right ventricle of the heart into the pulmonary artery is impeded. This means the right ventricle must pump harder than normal to overcome the obstruction.
Spinal stenosis
The pathway in the human body in which the spinal cord and nerves run through is called the spinal canal. When the spinal canal narrows it will increase the pressure that is put on the nerves.
Mitral Stenosis
Mitral stenosis is a narrowing of the mitral valve in the heart. This restricts the flow of blood through the valve. Back pressure which builds up behind the narrowed valve can cause various problems and symptoms.
Aortic stenosis
Definition
The aorta is the main artery carrying blood out of the heart. When blood leaves the heart, it flows through the aortic valve, into the aorta. In aortic stenosis, the aortic valve does not open fully.

Aortic stenosis
Dr Rob Hicks
When the aortic valve is too narrow, it causes an obstruction of blood flow, which is known as aortic stenosis.
Aortic Stenosis
Causes
The most common cause of aortic stenosis is age-associated degeneration and calcification of the aortic valve, which often causes symptoms in elderly patients.
Aortic stenosis
Summary
Aortic stenosis is the abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve. Symptoms include breathlessness, fainting, coughing at night and pains in the chest (from angina). Treatment includes medications and surgery.

Pyloric stenosis: Treatment
Pyloric stenosis is considered to be a medical emergency. Immediate treatment requires replacement of fluid loss, electrolytes, and acid-base imbalance. Correction needs to be done and this involves surgery.
Pyloric stenosis can contribute to:

Aortic Stenosis - Side effects
The MedicineNet physician editors ask:
What side effects did you have with your aortic stenosis?
When stenosis occurs in the lower back, it is called lumbar spinal stenosis. It often results from the normal aging process. As people age, the soft tissues and bones in the spine may harden or become overgrown.
Dacryostenosis, or stenosis of the tear duct, is a congenital blockage of the tear duct, occurring in approximately 5% of babies.
Mitral stenosis is a heart valve disorder that involves the mitral valve. This valve separates the upper and lower chambers on the left side of the heart. Stenosis refers to a condition in which the valve does not open fully, restricting blood flow.
Aortic stenosis (AS) is narrowing of the aortic valve obstructing blood flow from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta during systole.
Mitral stenosis prevents the valve from opening properly. This prevents proper blood flow from moving between the left atrium (upper chamber of the heart) and ventricle (lower chamber of the heart).
Aortic stenosis may be present from birth (congenital), or it may develop later in life (acquired). Children with aortic stenosis may have other congenital conditions.
Aortic stenosis is a condition in which the opening of one of your heart valves (aortic valve) becomes narrowed, which keeps the aortic valve from opening fully. This reduces blood flow from your heart to the main artery of your body (aorta).
Mitral stenosis in people of all ages is treatable. Treatment depends on the severity and progression of your condition and signs and symptoms. If the condition is severe enough, you may need heart surgery to repair or replace the valve.
Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal narrows and pinches the nerves, resulting in back and leg pain.

Diagnosing stenosis involves attempting to insert a probe into the cervix. This can show doctors how narrow the cervical opening has become.
Aortic valve stenosis can occur because of a birth defect in the formation of the valve. Calcium deposits may form on the valve with aging, causing the valve to become stiff and narrow. Stenosis can also occur as a result of rheumatic fever.
Renal artery stenosis is the narrowing of one or both renal arteries. 'Renal' means 'kidney' and 'stenosis' means 'narrowing.
Aortic valve stenosis means that this valve has narrowed, and it can't open all the way. The heart has to work harder to pump blood through the smaller opening. The heart can do this for many years, but over time it gets worn out.
Aortic valve stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve. The aortic valve allows blood to flow from the heart's lower left chamber (ventricle) into the aorta and to the body.
