Variants of structure of cardiac coronary sinus

Abstract

Study was exploring the changes occurring on the coronary sinus of the heart in patients with chronic heart failure. The knowledge of which will help the surgeons to predict the ability to perform a number of less invasive procedures. The study was made on 328 autopsies with chronic heart failure. The average age of the patients was 65,12±6,47 years, men were 172 women - 156. Exceptions were congenital malformations of the heart and great vessels, abnormal drainage the great cardiac vein , as well as most other sinus vein and left heart chambers, arteriovenous fistula coronary vessels, a history of open heart surgery, cardiac tumors, coronary vascular adhesions in the coronary sinus and thrombosis. This way, the survey found fluctuations expressed by coronary sinus sizes and options for its origin.
