The vessels supplying the lungs include the pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins,
and bronchial arteries. The segmental and sub segmental pulmonary arteries
parallel the bronchi and are named according to the bronchopulmonary segments
they supply. There are however considerable anatomic variations, particularly in
the upper lobes with variations in number or presence of accessory arteries from
adjacent segments. The subsegmental pulmonary vein branches, run within
interlobular septa and do not parallel the segmental or sub segmental pulmonary
artery branches and bronchi. They converge to form right and left superior and
inferior pulmonary veins which drain into the left atrium. Knowledge of normal
and variant anatomy on cross-sectional and angiographic images is essential for
accurate diagnosis of vascular pathology and aids planning of interventional
procedures.
