“…The valve considered as one of the potential anatomical barriers for cannulation has been described to be formed of variable sizes and shapes. 11 In 50 randomly chosen hearts of our study, the valve was present in 64% of cases. Previous studies conducted on formalinfixed human hearts documented the presence of valve in 67-84% of cases.…”

“…The CS ostium, the primary point of entry into the coronary venous network for the delivery of LV pacing leads, is guarded by TV. The valve considered as one of the potential anatomical barriers for cannulation has been described to be formed of variable sizes and shapes . In 50 randomly chosen hearts of our study, the valve was present in 64% of cases.…”

“…The values were close to this study on cadaveric hearts which reported the diameter of prominent tributaries to range from 0.8 to 4.2 mm (2.4–12.6Fr) and distance of PVL from CS ostium as 16.5 ± 7.9 mm (0–37 mm). Prior knowledge of these parameters might help in selecting the lead of appropriate French size, improving the ease of implant, and understanding the likelihood of lead dislodgment after initial implantation …”

“…The knowledge of variability in the angles formed by the branching vessel with the main axis of CS is important as it will be helpful for the implanters to correctly recognize the cannulation of the suitable vein . Acute angulation (<90°) between the first‐degree CS tributary and main CS can impede its cannulation.…”

Atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation for treatment of refractory atrial fibrillation is a well defined, standardized procedure and the simplest of commonly performed radiofrequency ablations in the field of cardiac electrophysiology. We report successful AV junction ablation using an inferior approach in a case of inferior vena cava interruption. Inability during the procedure to initially pass the ablation catheter into the right ventricle, combined with low amplitude electrograms, led to suspicion of an anatomic abnormality. This was determined to be a heterotaxy syndrome with inferior vena cava interruption and azygos continuation, draining in turn into the superior vena cava. Advancing Schwartz right 0 (SRO) sheath through the venous abnormality into the right atrium allowed adequate catheter stability to successfully induce complete AV block with radiofrequency energy.

Background: Dimensions of the coronary sinus are important in the design of cannulation devices used in cardiac resynchronization therapy and percutaneous mitral valve annuloplasty. Gender and population variations may account for the failure rate of these procedures. Cardiac conditions requiring these procedures are common in black African populations. There are, however, hardly any studies on the regions of coronary sinus in these populations.
