Atresia of the Right Atrial Ostium of the Coronary Sinus

摘要

A case of asymptomatic congenital occlusion of the ostium of the coronary sinus is described. The myocardial venous drainage was maintained via a persistent left superior vena cava as well via ectatic, widened atrial veins of the dorsal wall of the left atrium. The study shows that complete ostial occlusion of the coronary sinus does not reduce cardiac venous drainage. The view of the literature allows a comparison with the comprehensive classification of coronary sinus anomalies.
