Coronary Sinus
The structure indicated is the coronary sinus.
The coronary sinus lies posteriorly on the heart in the coronary sulcus and receives four cardiac veins:
- Great cardiac vein
- Middle cardiac vein
- Small cardiac vein
- Posterior cardiac veins
The coronary sinus returns deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart, together with the superior and inferior vena cavae.
