Coronary veins
Dr Matt A. Morgan ◉ et al.
The coronary veins return blood from the myocardium back to the right atrium. Coronary venous anatomy is highly variable, but is generally comprised of:
- coronary sinus
- cardiac veins (drain into the coronary sinus)
- great cardiac vein (adjacent to the left anterior descending artery)
- left posterior cardiac vein
- middle cardiac vein
- thebesian veins (drain directly into the right atrium)
