A shocking lead in the coronary sinus [PDF]
Placement of leads into the coronary sinus (CS) is now routinely used for cardiac resynchronization therapy. However, the CS can also be used for the placement of defibrillator shock leads. There is evidence demonstrating that CS leads in situ for the short and medium term can be successfully removed utilizing percutaneous methods.

An asymptomatic 11 year child with ruptured sinus of Valsalva [PDF]
Ruptured sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) is a rare lesion in a paediatric age group. A right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm usually ruptures into the right ventricle, while aneurysms of non-coronary sinus do so into the right atrium.

Left superior vena cava with coronary sinus ostial atresia with retrograde flow
The left superior vena cava (LSVC) develops when the left common cardinal vein and the caudal part of the left superior cardinal vein fail to regress. We present a case where LSVC was associated with a bridging vein and coronary sinus ostial atresia. The

Cavernous haemangioma in the coronary sinus [PDF]
A 58 year old man with a history of cerebral infarction was admitted to hospital with chest discomfort and dyspnoea. He had no history of precordial chest discomfort. Angiography and left ventriculography showed that coronary fistulas connected the coronary sinus with the left circumflex and right coronary arteries.

Multiple Coronary Arteriovenous Fistulas to the Coronary Sinus With an Unruptured Coronary Sinus Aneurysm and Restrictive Coronary Sinus Opening to the Right Atrium [PDF]
A 37-year-old woman was transferred to our department for surgery. She had experienced intermittent chest discomfort or pain and palpitation during the last 4 years. Chest radiographs showed cardiomegaly (cardiothoracic ratio 0.63). A preoperative ECG showed normal sinus rhythm (Figure 1). Echocardiography showed marked dilatation of the coronary sinus

CASE REPORT
Additional openings of the coronary sinus and associated anomalies
The coronary sinus normally opens into the right atrium through a single orifice. Past research studies have described various anomalies of the coronary sinus but there are fewer reports on multiple orifices of the coronary sinus.

Giant aneurysm of left circumflex artery branch with fistula to the coronary sinus: a case report
Background Aneurysm of a coronary artery branch with a fistula is extremely rare. Here, we present a case of giant aneurysm of the left circumflex artery branch with a fistula to the coronary sinus treated successfully with aneurysmectomy.
