Details | |
Drains to | Coronary sinus |
Artery | Posterior interventricular artery |
Identifiers | |
Latin | vena cardiaca media, vena cordis media |
TA98 | A12.3.01.009 |
TA2 | 4165 |
FMA | 4713 |
Anatomical terminology |
The middle cardiac vein commences at the apex of the heart. It passes posteriorly along the inferior interventricular sulcus to end at the coronary sinus near the sinus' termination. [1]
The middle cardiac vein commences at the cardiac apex (here, it is contiguous with the great cardiac vein, thus forming - along with the coronary sinus - a complete venous circle). [1]
The middle cardiac vein has a constant location on the surface of the ventricles. [2]
The middle cardiac vein is useful for epicardial access to the inferior side of the ventricles. [3]
