- Abstract
The aim of this work is to determine morphological and topographical aspects of great cardiac vein, especially its relation to the branches of left coronary artery. Examination of the great cardiac vein, left coronary artery and its branches was carried out on 45 specimens of hearts of both sexes aged between 18-50 years and without any known history of changes in cardiac pathology. The techniques applied by us were retrograde injection of great cardiac vein with ink and gelatin mixture followed by anatomical dissection of great cardiac vein, left coronary artery and its branches. The topography and morphology of great cardiac vein and its correlation with branches of left coronary artery as well as triangle of Brocq and Mouchet formed by them were examined and then clinical significance determined.
