Pulmonary valve stenosis is a condition where the outflow of blood of the heart is damaged at the pulmonic valve. This results in the reduction of blood flow to the lungs. The condition is generally caused by congenital heart disease and can be treated by undergoing balloon valvuloplasty, a procedure that widens a heart valve that is narrowed. Wikipedia In normal conditions, the pulmonic valve prevents regurgitation of deoxygenated blood from the pulmonary artery back to the right ventricle. It is a semilunar valve with 3 cusps, and it is located anterior, superior, and slightly to the left of the aortic valve. An image depicting the pulmonary valve can be seen below.
