VARIATION IN THE OPENINGS (OSTIA) OF LEFT PULMONARY VEINS INTO THE LEFT ATRIUM: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 13
Abstract
During early embryonic development, absorption of pulmonary venous network by the left primitive atrial chamber results in opening of four pulmonary veins which drain independently into its chamber. The extent of absorption and hence, the number of pulmonary veins which open into the left atrium, may vary. Here we report a variation in the opening of the Left upper (superior) pulmonary vein into the Left atrium. A total of six openings observed.
