The VV is a common heart structure, present in over 60% of humans, located mainly on the anterior and superior circuit of the coronary sinus, with relatively high morphological variability. Large VVs, which pose a significant obstacle in catheterization procedures, may be visualized using standard-protocol contrast-enhanced cardiac MSCT.
