Which artery is the exception to the rule that veins carry deoxygenated blood?

The pulmonary arteries leave the right ventricle to travel to the heart, so carry deunoxygenated blood. The name "arteries" is used because the vessels are leaving the heart.
The pulmonary veins, conversely, are coming back into the heart, so are veins, but they are carrying oxygenated blood.
