Material and Methods: This is morphological study was conducted by utilizing 60 human cadaveric hearts available in the Department of Anatomy, at PMCH Patna. Study duration of Two and half years.
Conclusion: The study of Coronary sinus utilizing 60 human hearts (irrespective of age and sex) preserved in formalin showed variations in its formation.
