This study shows the clinically relevant morphometric characteristic of coronary sinus tributaries. The middle cardiac vein is the most constant among coronary veins. However, it is usually not suitable for left ventricular pacing. The inferolateral vein of the left ventricle is highly variable in number, but its morphology makes it a suitable target for left ventricular lead placement.
