We report one case of pulmonary stenosis caused by pulmonary tuberculosis.l A 50 year old man who gradually developed dyspnea was diagnosed as bilateral pulmonary stenosis, he underwent bypass surgery between the main diagnosed as bilateral pulmonary stenosis. he underwent bypass surgery between the main pulmonary artery and the right pulomonary artery with a 13mm Gortex ringed straight graft.
