Right upper and lower pulmonary veins. Cropping the 3D dataset from the top shows infiltrated tissue (arrows) on each side of the right upper (RUP) and right lower (RLP) pulmonary veins, which join to form a common right pulmonary vein (RPV). LA, MV, AV, AO, LAA, superior vena cava (SVC), inferior vena cava (IVC), and RV outflow tract (RVOT) are also seen. Subsequent cropping from back to front at an oblique angle shows a short-axis view of the confluent RPV encased by infiltrated tissue but no lumen invasion. The pacemaker lead (arrowhead) and pericardial effusion (hollow arrow) are also seen.
