The pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs. They are the only arteries (other than umbilical arteries in the fetus) that carry deoxygenated blood. In the human heart, the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary artery or main pulmonary artery) begins at the base of the right ventricle.

Pulmonary edema (American English), or oedema (British English), is swelling and/or fluid accumulation in the lungs. It leads to impaired gas exchange and may cause respiratory failure. It is due to either failure of the heart to remove fluid from the lung circulation ("cardiogen ic pulmonary edema") or a direct injury to the lung parenchyma ("noncardio genic pulmonary edema"). Treatment depends on the cause, but focuses on maximizing respiratory function and removing the cause.Signs and symptoms · Diagnosis · Causes · Therapy
