Subject: Can a cava be hugged?

This is the sentence from an adrenalectomy:  "The medial portion between the cava was identified and hugged."  Is this correct?  I haven't heard this term before.  Thanks.

superior vena cava/pulmonary artery or arteries
I have a problem hearing if this is artery or arterIES(pleural). From my limited knowledge it would be artery, but does somebody know if a pulmonary homograft will connect the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery-- or it is arteries? Same with the Glenn shunt that goes from the superior vena cava to the pulmonary artery or arterIES? I cannot hear the doc clearly and it sounds like it might be arteries. thanks,
