pulmonary vein
noun[ C ]
anatomy specializeduk /ˌpʊl.mə.nər.i ˈveɪn/ us /ˌpʊl.mə.ner.i ˈveɪn/
a blood vessel that carries blood containing oxygen from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart:
In this condition, the heart muscle is too stiff to allow blood in from the pulmonary veins.
When the blood comes back to the heart from the lungs, it goes into the heart through four pulmonary veins into the left atrium.
A newer procedure that targets pulmonary veins may be more beneficial to patients with atrial fibrillation.
In these patients, there is anomalous connection of one or more right-sided pulmonary veins.
The left atrium receives pulmonary veins and pumps oxygenated blood into the left ventricle through the mitral valve.
