Abstract

If there is no shunt defect, the total blood volume entering the right heart is thereafter ejected into the lungs. Apart from the blood entering the lungs over the right heart, the lungs are perfused via bronchial arteries that are branches of the descending aorta. The bronchial arteries primarily have nutritive function and are thought not to contribute to the oxygenation of the circulating blood. The contribution of bronchial arteries to the perfusion of the lungs may be as low as 1–3%.1,2 Bronchial venous blood is collected in the right and, mainly, left atrium.
