These are three things concerned with narrowing of artery or veins.

Aortic Stenosis:
The aortic valve is stiffened and has a narrowed opening

Coarctation of the Aorta:
Narrowing of a portion of the aorta, and often seriously decreases the blood flow from the heart out to the lower portion of the body.

Pulmonary Stenosis
