Abstract:
The study was carried out on 80 human hearts obtained during autopsies. The vascular beds were filled with synthetic resin and next corroded. In all 80 hearts we have been found both: great, middle and small cardiac veins. In two out of 80 hearts we did not find oblique vein of the left atrium. Posterior vein of the left ventricle was double in four hearts. Right marginal vein was found in 5 hearts, left marginal vein was seen in 9 hearts. We also compared the dimensions of all of the above mentioned tributaries of the coronary sinus.

Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the...
Coronary Circulation
Coronary circulation begins at the base of the aorta, where two main arteries arise—the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus and supply the...
