Coronary sinus
The coronary sinus is a collection of smaller veins that merge together to form the sinus (or large vessel), which is located along the hearts posterior surface between the left ventricle and left atrium. The circumference of the vein is larger than average and is big enough to allow blood to be deposited by most veins that enter the heart.
Coronary sinus is the largest cardiac venous channel and its increasingly used during electrophysiological procedures like LV pacing, biventricular ICD lead placement and ablation.
The coronary sinus has become a clinically important structure especially through its role in providing access for different cardiac procedures. The coronary sinus serves as the primary collector of cardiac venous blood.
Cardiology research Journals like Clinical Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine (CCCM) provides a global open access platform to put forth the ongoing research, reviews articles related to all heart related disease, its treatment, case reports and many more.
