This review summarizes current evidence on their embryology, morphology, anatomical variability, imaging characteristics, and clinical implications. A structured literature search across PubMed, Embase, and Scopus identified anatomical, histological, electrophysiological, and interventional studies. The VOM is present in most hearts, but its topographic variants and ostial positions show substantial interindividual diversity. The LOM displays a segmental architecture with distinct muscular and fibrotic components that interface with the atrial myocardium and the coronary sinus, providing a substrate for atrial fibrillation. Advances in cardiac imaging have improved delineation of the VOM\u2013LOM region, enhancing pre-procedural assessment and guidance for ethanol infusion and ablation strategies. Recognition of the variability and functional significance of these structures is essential for optimizing procedural outcomes and avoiding complications. Taken together, the VOM and LOM represent key atrial venous remnants whose detailed characterization contributes to a deeper understanding of atrial arrhythmogenesis and contemporary interventional electrophysiology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14238422","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]],"date-time":"2025-11-28T11:19:51Z","timestamp":1764328791000},"page":"8422","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Marshall Complex in the Human Heart: Embryology, Microanatomy, Autonomic Features and Clinical Implications for Atrial Fibrillation\u2014A State-of-the-Art Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4787-6339","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wojciech Bartosz","family":"Dutka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Anatomy, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-762 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Cardiac Surgery, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-007 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0294-2871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adam","family":"Bochenek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Anatomy, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-762 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8443-4014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Lepich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Anatomy, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-762 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4526-2843","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Malinowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac Surgery, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-007 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7195-8422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Bajor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Anatomy, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-762 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ostrava, 70300 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"741","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.7618","article-title":"The fetal venous system, Part I: Normal embryology, anatomy, hemodynamics, ultrasound evaluation and Doppler investigation","volume":"35","author":"Yagel","year":"2010","journal-title":"Ultrasound Obstet.
