Morphological and Morphometric Study of the Coronary Sinus and its Tributaries in Adult Cadaveric Hearts: A Descriptive Anatomical Study

Background

The coronary sinus (CS) is the principal venous conduit of the heart and provides an important route for cardiac electrophysiological and interventional procedures. Variations in its dimensions, ostium, valves, tributaries and relationship with surrounding structures may influence coronary sinus cannulation and device placement. This study evaluated the morphology and morphometry of the CS and its associated structures in adult cadaveric hearts.
