Variations in human pulmonary vein ostia morphology: A
This study aimed to establish the most accurate and up-to-date anatomical knowledge of pulmonary veins (PV), ostia variations, diameters and ostial area, to provide physicians, especially heart and thoracic surgeons with exact knowledge concerning this area.
Variations in the Pulmonary Venous Ostium in the Left Atrium …
Approximately 70% of the general population has four pulmonary veins: right superior and inferior and left superior and inferior pulmonary veins, with four independent ostia [1,3,5]. Marom EM et al., divided the pulmonary vein and its drainage orifices into 6 patterns on the right side and 2 patterns on the left side [ 3 ].
