Spatial relationship of coronary sinus- great cardiac vein to mitral valve annulus and left circumflex coronary artery: Implications for cardiovascular intervational procedures

The spatial relationship of the coronary sinus-great cardiac vein (CS-GCV) to free posterior portion of the mitral valve annulus (MVA) and left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) has gained importance with the advent of cardiovascular interventional procedures such as percutaneous transvenous mitral annuloplasty (PTMA) and mitral isthmus (MI) ablation.
