This study aimed to elucidate the venous vasculature in human fetuses with 3D Reconstruction of vessel and nerve localization. Here, it is reported that D2-40 was used as a venous marker, whereas αSMA had been used. D2-40 (PDPN), a lymphatic and mesotheliomal marker, is not expressed in normal blood vessels. It is essential to repeat the study with correct blood vessel specific markers. This paper reports embryological evidence disproving the detectability of blood vessels using D2-40 and provides the correct blood vessel specific markers that should be chosen instead
