1 Right Upper Lobe Venous Drainage Posterior to the Bronchus Intermedius: Preoperative Identification by Computed Tomography  Katsuyuki Asai, MD, Norikazu Urabe, MD, PhD, Kiyoshige Yajima, MD, Kazuya Suzuki, MD, PhD, Teruhisa Kazui, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 79, Issue 6, Pages (June 2005) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2005 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Computed tomographic findings of each drainage course of the UVPBI (arrowheads): (A) superior pulmonary vein group, (B) inferior pulmonary vein (IPV) group, and (C) superior segmental vein (V6) group. (BSV = basal segmental vein; UVPBI = right upper lobe vein posterior to the bronchus intermedius.)

3 Fig 2 Anatomical schema of each group: superior pulmonary vein (SPV) group, inferior pulmonary vein (IPV) group, and superior segmental vein (V6) group. (AV = azygos vein; BI = bronchus intermedius; BSV = basal segmental vein; E = esophagus; LA = left atrium; PA = pulmonary artery; SVC = superior vena cava; ULB = upper lobe bronchus; UVPBI = right upper lobe vein posterior to the bronchus intermedius.)

4 Fig 3 Operative view after a right lower lobectomy in a patient with a right upper lobe vein posterior to the bronchus intermedius (UVPBI) (case 8 [see Table 2], superior pulmonary vein group). (BI = bronchus intermedius; Bs = bronchial stump; PAs = pulmonary arterial stumps; UL = upper lobe.)
