Abstract
What is peripheral pulmonary stenosis (PPS)? PPS is an innocent heart murmur found in infants. It is also known as pulmonary branch stenosis. • Innocent means it is not harmful. • Peripheral pulmonary branches are the blood vessels that take blood from the heart to the lungs. • Stenosis means the blood vessels are narrow. • Murmurs are extra sounds from the heart. It is most common in premature babies or babies born with a low birth weight. However, it can also occur in full-term babies.
