Deoxygenated blood travels through the veins called the inferior vena cava and superior vena cave into the right atrium. Blood flows from the right atrium, through a valve and into the right ventricle and into the pulmonary arteries. From the pulmonary arteries the blood is carried to the lungs. So the answer is pulmonary artery.
