“…The venous drainage of the heart of various domestic and wild animals has been studied by many researchers (Tori, 1952; Hegazi, 1958; Bisaillon, 1981; Popesko et al., 1990; Coakley and Summerfield, 1993; Besoluk and Tipirdamaz, 2001). However, our study of the related literature showed that there was no information on the venous drainage of the heart of the porcupine.…”

The venous drainage of the heart in porcupines (Hystrix cristata) was investigated. Each of the five adult porcupines (three males, two females) was injected with a coloured latex mixture via the V. cava caudalis for the demonstration of the cardiac veins. The dissection of the specimens revealed that the venous drainage of the heart in porcupines was made by the V. cordis magna, V. distalis ventriculi sinistri, V. proximalis ventriculi sinistri, V. cordis caudalis (the left marginal vein), V. cordis media and Vv. cordis dextrae. The cardiac veins were observed in a subepicardial course on the heart except for the R. interventricularis paraconalis. The R. interventricularis paraconalis showed an intramyocardial course until the middle of the sulcus interventricularis paraconalis, and a subepicardial course after this point. The V. cordis magna and V. distalis ventriculi sinistri opened to the sinus coronarius. The V. cordis caudalis and the V. cordis media drained into the V. cava caudalis. The venous drainage of the conus arteriosus was made by the left V. coni arteriosi opening to the R. interventricularis paraconalis, and by the right V. coni arteriosi which continued to the Vv. cordis dextrae.

“…The coronary sinus, situated at the atrial surface of the heart, took the left azygos vein and opened into the right atria (Tori, 1952; Truex and Angulo, 1952; Tıpırdamaz, 1987; Coakley and Summerfield, 1993). It receives venous blood from the great cardiac, left marginal and left azygos veins (Nickel et al., 1981).…”

This study was carried out to evaluate the origin, course and terminations of the cardiac veins in Akkaraman sheep and Angora goats. These vessels are the great cardiac, left marginal, middle cardiac, right cardiac and smallest cardiac veins. For this purpose, latex was injected into the jugular vein of eight adult healthy Akkaraman sheep and Angora goats. These veins were dissected. It has been shown that the middle cardiac vein and great cardiac veins coursed with the branches of the coronary arteries and that they were anastomosed with each other. The venous blood from the great cardiac vein and middle cardiac veins emptied into the right atria via the coronary sinus. The venous blood from the interventricular septum was conveyed to the middle cardiac vein and great cardiac veins.

“…Coronary venous sinus size measurements on sectioned material differ from those in vivo, which is explained by the absence of intravital hemodynamic turgor [14]. For this purpose, some researchers used X-ray contrast angiography, which was first performed in 1951 [20], including retrograde filling of the coronary venous sinus, which made a significant contribution to the understanding of the morphology of the venous system of the heart [6,10]. With the introduction of the technique of multispiral computer tomography -a method of obtaining spatial three-dimensional models of individual body structures, researchers gained the opportunity not only to assess the linear dimensions of the coronary venous sinus during life, but also other morphometric indicators that cannot be assessed on sectional material [4,8,13,15,18,22].…”

Recently, in Ukraine, there has been a significant increase in the possibilities of invasive treatment of cardiovascular pathologies, the number of open-heart cardiosurgical operations and endovascular interventions is increasing. Each of these interventions requires endovascular catheterization of the coronary venous sinus of the heart, the variety of anatomical features of which requires a detailed study of the anatomy of the venous system of the heart. The purpose of the work is to establish the features of the coronary sinus dimensions and anthropometric indicators in men and women without coronary artery pathology, as well as the relationships between these indicators. Weight, body length, body mass index, anterior-posterior size of the chest, as well as the dimensions of the coronary sinus were determined (the length of the coronary sinus from the mouth to the oblique atrial vein, the transverse size of the coronary sinus in the area of the mouth in the sagittal and axial planes, the transverse size of the coronary sinus in the middle third in the sagittal and axial plane, the transverse dimension of the coronary sinus at the level of the oblique vein of the atrium in the sagittal and axial plane) in 15 men and 9 women aged 44 to 60 years (average age according to the age classification of the World Health Organization) without pathology of the coronary arteries, who underwent CT coronary angiography at the “Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery NAMS of Ukraine”. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out in the license package “Statistica 6.0” using non-parametric estimation methods. As a result of the conducted research, the limits of the percentile range of anthropometric indicators and the size of the coronary sinus in men and women without coronary artery pathology were established. When analyzing the value of these indicators between men and women, only significantly higher values of body mass and length were established in men. Therefore, when analyzing the relationship between the dimensions of the coronary sinus and the anthropometric parameters of the body, the distribution of indicators by sex was not carried out. When analyzing the correlations between age, sex, weight, body length, body mass index, signs of body mass index (indicates underweight, equivalent to normal body weight, indicates the presence of excess weight, or is a sign of obesity) and the anterior-posterior size of the chest with almost all dimensions of the coronary sinus, multiple reliable direct strong (r=0.64 and r=0.67) and medium strength (r=0.44 and r=0.47), as well as unreliable medium strength direct correlations with the anterior-posterior size of the chest were established (r=0.40 in both cases). In addition, multiple nonreliable average strength direct correlations of more than half of coronary sinus dimensions were established with body weight (r= from 0.32 to 0.35). When analyzing the correlations between the sizes of the coronary sinus, multiple reliable direct strong (r= from 0.60 to 0.65) and medium strength (r= from 0.41 to 0.59), as well as unreliable medium strength direct (r= from 0.30 to 0.40) correlations were established with half the size of these indicators.
