Abstract EN
Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
Variations are quite common in the pattern of drainage.
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the incidence of different draining patterns of the right pulmonary veins at the hilum by dissecting the human fixed cadaveric lungs.
Clinically, pulmonary veins have been demonstrated to often play an important role in generating atrial fibrillation.
Hence, it is important to look into the anatomy of the veins during MR imaging and CT angiography.
In 53.8% of cases, the right superior lobar vein and right middle lobar vein were found to be united together to form the right superior pulmonary vein.
In contrast to this, in 11.53% of cases, right middle lobar vein united with the right inferior lobar vein to form the right inferior pulmonary vein, while in 26.9% of cases, the right superior lobar vein, right middle lobar vein, and right inferior lobar vein drained separately.
