Implication

May refine atrial ablation planning; leaves open prospective clinical validation.

Key Points

  • This research aims to clarify the anatomical classification and drainage patterns of atrial veins in the human heart.
  • Detailed anatomical examination and classification of left and right atrial veins.
  • Identification of connections between various atrial veins and their tributaries.
  • Analysis of the prevalence of specific venous structures based on anatomical observations.
  • 92% of cases show special veins draining the right-sided walls of the left atrium into the right atrium via intramural sinuses.
  • 81% of cases indicate veins draining the posterior and superior walls of the left atrium, connecting to mediastinal veins in almost 40% of instances.
  • Right atrial veins have three groups, including valveless tunnels near the tricuspid valve and Thebesian vessels.
