Thebesian veins as drainage to the ventricle: A case report.
A 64-year old woman was referred to the division of cardiology due to recurrent angina pectoris (CCS III). The patient's symptoms and high cardiovascular risk profile were an indication for coronary angiography. Relevant coronary heart disease was hereby ruled out; however, angiography showed a direct drainage of coronary vessels into the chambers. These Thebesian veins are of venoluminal nature in most cases and have a clinical implication in selected cases only.
