blood in pulmonary vein is oxygenated and is carried from lungs to heart(and yet is named pulmonary VEIN).Vena cava is the broadest vein,it is associated to the heart. It receives deoxygenated blood from the veins coming to heart from different body parts and gives it to heart for pumping.
I hope it clears your doubt.
