None:
Ablation of atypical atrial flutter may be challenging, particularly when a complex substrate is present. The persistence of left superior vena cava and severe coronary sinus dilatation carries an arrhythmogenic potential. In this case of atrial flutter, extensive substrate and activation mapping revealed the critical substrate within the coronary sinus.

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...
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...
