Wikipedia
Stenosis
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.

stenosis
Stenosis refers to the abnormal narrowing or constriction of a passage or opening in the body, such as blood vessels or valves in the heart. It can occur in any part of the body and can lead to reduced flow of fluids, such as blood or air, potentially causing significant health issues. The severity and effects of stenosis vary depending on its location and extent.
Webster Dictionary
Stenosisnoun
a narrowing of the opening or hollow of any passage, tube, or orifice; as, stenosis of the pylorus. It differs from stricture in being applied especially to diffused rather than localized contractions, and in always indicating an origin organic and not spasmodic
