cardiac vein

The smallest cardiac veins drain directly into the heart chambers.

Unlike most cardiac veins, it does not end in the coronary sinus.

Additionally, some of the flow through the smallest cardiac veins empty back into the left heart directly.

The doctors told them that their son had one hole between the top two chambers of his heart and a problem with his cardiac veins.

The vessels that remove the deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle are known as cardiac veins.

In it runs the posterior interventricular artery and middle cardiac vein.

The coronary sinus receives blood mainly from the small, middle, great and oblique cardiac veins.

It may drain to the coronary sinus, right atrium, middle cardiac vein, or be absent.

Vessels related to it are posterior interventricular branch of right coronary artery and middle cardiac vein.

The anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery runs in the sulcus along with the great cardiac vein.

Cardiac veins can refer to:

The anterior cardiac veins do not drain into the coronary sinus but drain directly into the right atrium.

The openings of smallest cardiac veins (foramina venarum minimarum or foramina Thebesii) are located in the heart.

However, sprouts from the cardiac vein may fuse with the intersomitic vessel, which slowly disconnects from the aorta and becomes a vein.

The small cardiac vein runs in the coronary sulcus between the right atrium and ventricle and opens into the right extremity of the coronary sinus.

The Vieussens valve of the coronary sinus is a valve and anatomic landmark between the coronary sinus and the great cardiac vein.

The middle cardiac vein commences at the apex of the heart; ascends in the posterior longitudinal sulcus, and ends in the coronary sinus near its right extremity.

Its wall is partly muscular, and at its junction with the great cardiac vein is somewhat constricted and furnished with a valve consisting of two unequal segments.

The Great Cardiac Vein (left coronary vein) begins at the apex of the heart and ascends along the anterior longitudinal sulcus to the base of the ventricles.

Here the smallest cardiac veins returns blood into the heart chambers from the capillary bed in the muscular cardiac wall, enabling a form of collateral circulation unique to the heart.

The Posterior Vein of the Left Ventricle runs on the diaphragmatic surface of the left ventricle to the coronary sinus, but may end in the great cardiac vein.

These include the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the small cardiac vein and the anterior cardiac veins.

The great cardiac vein receives tributaries from the left atrium and from both ventricles: one, the left marginal vein, is of considerable size, and ascends along the left margin of the heart.

The right marginal vein ascends along the right margin of the heart and joins the small cardiac vein (sometimes known as the right coronary vein) in the coronary sulcus, or opens directly into the right atrium.

A college dropout, Mr. Kamen was a rich and renowned inventor before Segway, having made millions on creations including the first insulin pump, the first portable kidney dialysis machine and surgical stents used to prop open clogged cardiac veins and arteries.
