چکیده
Aim: To study the anatomy of the coronary venous system in cadaveric hearts, to ascertain various morphological features of the coronary sinus in order to compare male and female coronary sinus.In addition to provide anatomical basis for the cannulation of coronary sinus and its tributaries. Methods; The study was performed on 40 hearts from embalmed cadavers in different age group varies from 20-70 years in the department of anatomy,madaras medical college,Chennai.Morphological parameters like length and width of coronary sinus at the site of opening into right atrium and shape of coronary sinus were examined. All measurements were taken with the help of thread, scale and precise digital vernier Calipers. Results: a. Length of coronary sinus (CS) ranged from 2cm to 3.8cm, the mean being 2.8cm. b. Relation of coronary sinus to the left coronary artery (LCA) andmitral valve annulus was above and parallel in 100% cases. c. The number of Atrial tributaries ranged from 1-2 and ventricular from 1-6. d.The most frequent shape of coronary sinus is cylindrical.. e. The average length and width of coronary ostium was 9mm and13mm respectively. F.The length of coronary sinus is having positive significant relation with weight of heart in males.The width of coronary sinus at the site opening into right atrium showed significant positive correlation with age and weight of cadaver.. Conclusion: For invasive cardiologists, knowledge about CVS anatomy could add value before and during electrophysiology procedures.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
متن کاملPseudo Cor Triatriatum Sinistrum due to Dilated Coronary Sinus in Association with Supramitral Ring
We herein describe a 34-year-old woman with a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) impinging on the posterior wall of the left atrium, subdivided by a membrane at the distal part of the impingement. In this patient, a much dilated coronary sinus due to the PLSVC resulted in a membrane-like structure in the posterior wall of the left atrium with the appearance of the cor triatriatum in tra...
متن کاملIntermittent coronary sinus occlusion after coronary arterial ligation results in venous retroperfusion.
Coronary sinus occlusion retards necrosis of ischemic myocardium. To test the hypothesis that coronary sinus occlusion induces retrograde venoarterial flow, the coronary arteriovenous pressure gradient and the coronary arterial oxygen saturation were measured distal to a left anterior descending coronary artery ligature in dogs. In parallel, we constructed a mathematical model of known coronary...
متن کاملPartition of coronary flow and cardiac oxygen extraction between coronary sinus and other coronary drainage channels.
• Coronary flow measurements in the intact animal and in man have been based principally on the amount of the coronary sinus drainage. Two assumptions are involved in the use of the coronary sinus drainage as an index of total and of left ventricular coronary flow: (1) The coronary sinus flow is a fixed percentage of total coronary flow, and (2) it represents all or a constant portion of the ve...
متن کاملCoronary sinus rhythm induced by selective use of catecholamine in the in situ dog heart.
The selective administration of dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine and isoproterenol, into the coronary sinus region of the dog heart produced so-called coronary sinus rhythm, indicating the appearance of deep inverted P waves and frequently accompanied by an acceleration of pacemaker activity of the coronary sinus region. These effects of catecholamines were not influenced by atropine and t...

An 8-month-old male with coronary sinus orifice atresia, left superior vena cava, and single ventricle underwent light-guided coronary sinus unroofing concomitant with bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis to circumvent coronary sinus hypertension. During surgery, a 2.25 Fr angioscopic catheter was inserted into the coronary sinus via the left superior vena cava. The coronary sinus, lit by th...
