1. coarctation

   A stenosis (from Ancient Greek στενός, "narrow") is an abnormal narrowing in a blood vessel or other tubular organ or structure such as foramina and canals. It is also sometimes called a stricture (as in urethral stricture).Stricture as a term is usually used when narrowing is caused by contraction of smooth muscle (e.g. achalasia, prinzmetal angina); stenosis is usually used when narrowing is caused by lesion that reduces the space of lumen (e.g. atherosclerosis). The term coarctation is another synonym, but is commonly used only in the context of aortic coarctation.Restenosis is the recurrence of stenosis after a procedure.

1. coarctation

   Coarctation refers to a narrowing of a passage or vessel in the body. It is most commonly used to describe a congenital condition known as Coarctation of the Aorta, where a part of the aorta, the major blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body, is narrower than usual. This can restrict blood flow and lead to various health complications.
