Small cardiac vein

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vein: Small cardiac vein

Base and diaphragmatic surface of heart (small cardiac vein labeled at lower righ.)

Arteries: RCA = right coronary AB = atrial branches SANB = sinuatrial nodal RMA = right marginal LCA = left coronary CB = circumflex branch LAD/AIB = anterior interventricular LMA = left marginal PIA/PDA = posterior descending AVN = atrioventricular nodal Veins: SCV = small cardiac ACV = anterior cardiac AIV/GCV = great cardiac MCV = middle cardiac CS = coronary sinus
Latin	Vena cardiaca parva, vena cordis parva
Gray's	p.642
Drains to	Coronary sinus

The small cardiac vein runs in the coronary sulcus between the right atrium and ventricle and opens into the right extremity of the coronary sinus.

It receives blood from the back of the right atrium and ventricle.
