The small cardiac vein, also known as the right coronary vein, [1] is a coronary vein that drains parts of the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart. [2] Despite its size, it is one of the major drainage vessels for the heart.
The smallest cardiac veins (also known as the Thebesian veins (named for Adam Christian Thebesius) are small, valveless veins in the walls of all four heart chambers [1] that drain venous blood from the myocardium [2] directly into any of the heart chambers. [3] They are most abundant in the right atrium, and least abundant in the left ventricle.
The anatomy of the veins of the heart is very variable, but generally it is formed by the following veins: heart veins that go into the coronary sinus: the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the small cardiac vein, the posterior vein of the left ventricle, and the oblique vein of the left atrium (oblique vein of Marshall). Heart veins ...

Cardiac veins can refer to: Coronary sinus; Great cardiac vein (also known as the left coronary vein) Middle cardiac vein; Small cardiac vein (also known as the right coronary vein) Smallest cardiac veins (also known as the Thebesean veins) Anterior cardiac veins
The vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium are known as coronary arteries. The vessels that remove the deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle are known as cardiac veins. These include the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the small cardiac vein and the anterior cardiac veins.
The right coronary sulcus begins anteriorly and superiorly on the sternocostal surface of the heart. Its position is marked by the location of the right coronary artery, and small cardiac vein. The right coronary sulcus separates the right atrium and its atrial appendage from the right ventricle inferiorly. The right coronary sulcus then passes ...
