Variations in the Pulmonary Venous Ostium in the Left Atrium and Its Clinical Importance [PDF]
Introduction: During early embryonic development, absorption of pulmonary venous network by the left primitive atrial chamber results in opening of four pulmonary veins which drain independently into its chamber.

Detection of Pulmonary Embolism on CT-Angiography Using Contrast Attenuation of Pulmonary Veins
Background: In areas of pulmonary embolism (PE), the enhancement of pulmonary veins on computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) should be decreased due to reduced arterial perfusion.

Opposing responses of the rat pulmonary artery and vein to phenylephrine and other agents in vitro
Background Different from current cognition, our study demonstrated that adrenergic receptors agonist phenylephrine significantly relaxed isolated pulmonary artery but constricted pulmonary veins.

Transposition of the Pulmonary Veins [PDF]
The seriousness of incomplete transposition of the pulmonary veins has probably been underestimated in the past. Data on 11 patients is presented, including 10 with associated atrial septal defects. Common symptoms were dyspnea, fatigability, and frequent respiratory infections.

Automatic pulmonary artery-vein separation in CT images using a twin-pipe network and topology reconstruction [PDF]
Background With the wide application of CT scanning, the separation of pulmonary arteries and veins (A/V) based on CT images plays an important role for assisting surgeons in preoperative planning of lung cancer surgery.

SOME GROSS ANATOMICAL STUDIES ON THE PULMONARY VEINS IN THE DONKEY (EQUUS ASINUS) [PDF]
The pulmonary veins were studied on fifteen lungs of donkeys of different ages. The pulmonary veins were injected with colored mass of kemo-apoxy No. 151/20A, as well as 30% suspension of red lead oxide in kemo-apoxy No.
