(Great cardiac vein labeled at center left.) Pulmonary vessels, seen in a dorsal view of the heart and lungs. The lungs have been pulled away from the median line, and a part of the right lung has been cut away to display the air-ducts and bloodvessels (great coronary vein labeled at center bottom).
The coronary sinus receives blood mainly from the small, middle, great, [2] and oblique cardiac veins. It also receives blood from the left marginal vein and the left posterior ventricular vein. [citation needed] Great cardiac vein (run upwards in the anterior interventricular sulcus to the left atrioventricular groove to form the coronary ...
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 Marshall. Heart veins that go directly to the right ...

It extends between the coronary sulcus, and the apex of the heart; [1] upon reaching the diaphragmatic surface of the heart, it ends at the notch of cardiac apex. [3] It contains the anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery, and great cardiac vein. [1] [2]
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 Vieussens valve of the coronary sinus is a prominent [1] valve at the end of the great cardiac vein, marking the commencement of the coronary sinus. [2] [1] It is often a flimsy valve composed of one to three leaflets. It is present in 80-90% of individuals. It serves as an anatomical landmark.
The coronary sinus is a large vein that drains into the right atrium, and receives most of the venous drainage of the heart. It receives blood from the great cardiac vein (receiving the left atrium and both ventricles), the posterior cardiac vein (draining the back of the left ventricle), the middle cardiac vein (draining the bottom of the left ...
