A Pulmonary Infarction is the death of a small area of lung resulting from pulmonary embolism. It occurs in a small, dead-end pulmonary artery and often causes pain in the back or chest.
PI is an an infrequent consequence of Pulmonary Edema(< 10% of cases). It is sometimes due to thrombosis in situ of the pulmonary arteries as might occur in congenital heart disease associated with severe pulmonary hypertension or in hematologic disorders (eg, sickle cell anemia).

The valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk is?
The valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk is the pulmonary semilunar valve, also known as the pulmonic valve. This valve prevents the backflow of blood from the pulmonary trunk into the right ventricle during the heart's pumping cycle.
What open and allow blood to flow into pulmonary trunk?
The pulmonic valve, a semilunar valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk, opens to allow blood to flow into the pulmonary artery. This valve opens when the pressure in the right ventricle is greater than the pressure in the pulmonary artery, allowing blood to be pumped from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
