The middle cardiac vein was present in all cases, with a diameter of 1.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.5\u00a0mm, cannulation distance of 5.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.2\u00a0mm, and angle of 82.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a012.8\u00b0. The inferolateral vein of the left ventricle varied greatly in number: single in 63.5%, multiple in 30.5%. The ostium diameter for a single vein was 1.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.5\u00a0mm, cannulation distance was 21.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.8\u00a0mm, and the angle was 98.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a013.5\u00b0.
