Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Volume-rendering and maximum intensity projection images show anomalous venous channel (white arrow) connecting coronary sinus (CS) and left atrium (LA). Opening site of anomalous channel (black arrow) and atretic ostium of CS (*) could be seen. Ao = aorta, GCV = great coronary vein, LAD = left anterior descending artery, LCX = left circumflex artery, LV = left ventricle, MCV = middle coronary vein, PLSVC = persistent left superior vena cava, PV = pulmonary vein, RCA = right coronary artery, RV = right ventricle, SCV = small coronary vein

• 

  Fig. 2 Volume-rendering images show two anomalous venous channels (white arrows) connecting coronary sinus and left atrium (LA). Coexisting tortuous tubular connection (black arrow) between small cardiac vein and right atrium could be seen. Ao = aorta, GCV = great coronary vein, LA = left atrium, MCV = middle coronary vein, PV = pulmonary vein, RA = right atrium, SCV = small coronary vein
