Coronary sinus cannulation for retrograde cardioplegia administration during cardiac surgery is common practice. Several of the cannulas that are placed by the cardiac surgeon on open procedures are now placed by the cardiac anesthesiologist during minimally invasive cardiac surgery, including the coronary sinus catheter. The understanding of the cardiac venous anatomy is very important during coronary sinus catheter placement. We present a case where a percutaneously placed coronary sinus catheter was inadvertently placed into the middle cardiac vein but detected with the use of fluoroscopy.

Aims: Biomarkers are pivotal in the management of heart failure (HF); however, their lack of cardiac specificity could limit clinical utility. This study aimed to investigate the transcoronary changes and intracardiac production of these biomarkers.
Methods: Transcoronary gradients for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and five novel biomarkers-galectin-3 (Gal-3), soluble suppression of tumourigenicity 2 (sST2), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-were determined using femoral artery (FA) and coronary sinus (CS) samples from 30 HF patients and 10 non-HF controls.

Introduction: Many studies have shown that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) increases the survival rate of patients, but the effect of bypass grafting on cardiac function is still a matter of debate.
Objective: The objective of our study was to determine: a. To what extent can the change in coronary sinus flow be used as an intraoperative criterion for the assessment of adequate revascularization.
