| superior branch of the right and left inferior pulmonary veins | Tributaries of the right and left inferior pulmonary veins which receive oxygenated blood from the superior [S6] bronchopulmonary segments of the inferior lobes of the right and left lungs. Synonym: ramus superior venae pulmonalis dextrae/sinistrae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deviation to the right | In a differential count of white blood cells in the peripheral blood, the absence of young and immature forms. Synonym: deviation to the right. See: maturation index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double outlet right ventricle | <cardiology, embryology> Incomplete transposition of the great vessels in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery arise from the right ventricle, often associated with a subaortic ventricular septal defect. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infralobar part of posterior branch of right pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein draining the posterior segment of the right lung that emerges inferior to the superior lobe; tributary to the posterior branch of the right superior pulmonary vein. Synonym: pars infralobaris rami posterioris venae pulmonalis dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intralobar part of the right superior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein draining the apical and posterior segments of the right lung; tributary to the posterior branch of the right superior pulmonary vein. Synonym: pars intralobaris venae pulmonalis dextrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left-to-right shunt | A diversion of blood from the left side of the heart to right (as through a septal defect), or from the systemic circulation to the pulmonary (as through a patent ductus arteriosus). (05 Mar 2000) |
| left-to-right shunts | <radiology> Atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, aorticopulmonary window, endocardial cushion defect, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (12 Dec 1998) |
