A member asked:
In regards to blood flow, what is stenosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stenosis: Stenosis is the narrowing of a blood vessel that alters normal perfusion. Examples of stenosis in the vascular system are renal artery stenosis or carotid artery stenosis. The development of atherosclerotic plaques sometimes occludes so much of a blood vessel that stenosis occurs.
