Having five pulmonary veins instead of the typical four can indicate a rare anatomical variation known as pulmonary vein duplication. This condition may not necessarily cause problems and can be asymptomatic, but it can also be associated with other congenital heart defects or complications. If there are no related issues and the individual is healthy, it may not require any treatment. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
Pulmonary veins derive from the lungs. And reside in the cardiovascular system.
Vena Cava has valves, if im not wrong, but pulmonary veins definitely do not have valves.
The pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. Like all veins the blood in the pulmonary veins travel toward the heart.
Pulmonary veins
The pulmonary veins are veins which carry oxygenated blood (unlike most veins) back from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
Pulmonary veins
The pulmonary veins leave the lungs and carry blood to the left atrium of the heart.
Veins are vessels that bring blood to the heart. Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. There are four pulmonary veins which extend from the left atrium to the lungs. They are the right superior, right inferior, left superior, and left inferior pulmonary veins.

The Pulmonary arteries
The pulmonary veins take oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
The pulmonary veins originate and depart from the left and right lungs carrying oxygenated blood. Both pulmonary veins deposit into the right atrium.
