Pulmonic stenosis, also known as pulmonary stenosis, is a dynamic or fixed obstruction of flow from the right ventricle of the heart to the pulmonary artery. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood.

The nurse would most likely say that it is a fixed or dynamic obstruction which means that your child's heart is not getting good blood flow through it artery to the heart.
