Pulmonary venous (PV) flow is primarily governed by the hemodynamics of the left chambers. During the intra or postoperative period of cardiac surgery, dynamic or structural changes in these chambers leads to specific patterns in PV flow. These patterns can be assessed through transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in different settings and provide complementary data to the traditional values that we obtained
