A report is given of eight cases of congenital, multiple peripheral stenoses of the pulmonary artery, diagnosed by means of cardiac catheterization and selective angiocardiography. These cases are divided into two types on the basis of the anatomic features, i.e., type I—simple membranous stenosis distal to the pulmonary valve, and type II–multiple, short or long bilateral constrictions extending from the main trunk to relatively fine branches.
