No. The vena cava enters the right auricle, and the pulmonary artery leaves the right ventricle.

Additionally, the pulmonary vein enters the left auricle and the aorta leaves the left ventricle.

The vena cava allows blood to enter the right atrium. Unlike the rest of the heart, there are no valves separated the vena cava and right atrium.
