| pulmonary arteries | <anatomy> The pulmonary arteries deliver deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. They are the only arteries in the human body that carry deoxygenated blood. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> The short wide vessel arising from the conus arteriosus of the right ventricle and conveying unaerated blood to the lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary artery aneurysm | Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery; rare in the absence of congenital heart disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary artery banding | A surgical method of decreasing pulmonary blood flow and thereby volume overload of the left ventricle, alleviating CHF in certain congenital heart defects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary artery sarcoma | <radiology> Rare, age: 21 - 80 (most common: 45 - 55), usual presentation: hilar mass or hilar infiltrative lesion, other findings: decreased vascular markings, atelectasis / volume loss, metastatic nodules, decreased or absent perfusion on V/Q, intravascular soft-tissue mass on CT (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary atresia | Congenital absence of the normal valvular orifice into the pulmonary artery. This condition is characterised by cardiomegaly, reduced pulmonary vascularity, and right ventricular atrophy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary blastoma | A malignant neoplasm of the lung composed chiefly or entirely of immature undifferentiated cells (i.e., blast forms) with little or virtually no stroma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary branch of autonomic nervous system | Pulmonary branches of cardiac plexuses and cardiaopulmonary splanchnic nerves. Synonym: rami pulmonales systematis autonomici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary bulla | An air-filled blister on the surface of the lung, a similar abnormality within the lung presenting as a thin-walled cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary capillary wedge pressure | The pressure obtained when a catheter is passed from the right side of the heart into the pulmonary artery as far as it will go and "wedged" into an end artery. PCWP is measured by letting pulmonary blood flow guide a balloon-flotation catheter into a small pulmonary end artery. The pressure distal to the wedged catheter is an approximation of cardiac left atrial pressure. The pressure recorded with the balloon deflated is pulmonary artery pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary cavity | The portion of the thoracic cavity lying on either side of the mediastinum and occupied by a lung; the space existing when a lung is removed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary circulation | The circulation of blood through the lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary cirrhosis | Fibrosis of the lungs; usually interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary collapse | Secondary atelectasis due to bronchial obstruction, pleural effusion or pneumothorax, cardiac hypertrophy, or enlargement of other structures adjacent to the lungs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary cone | The left or anterosuperior, smooth-walled portion of the cavity of the right ventricle of the heart, which begins at the supraventricular crest and terminates in the pulmonary trunk. Synonym: arterial cone, pulmonary cone, pulmonary conus. (05 Mar 2000) |
