- Left marginal artery
-
Artery: Left marginal artery Base and diaphragmatic surface of heart. (Left marginal artery not visible, but would be near center left.) ARTERIES:
RCA = right coronary
AB = atrial branches
SANB = sinuatrial nodal
RMA = right marginal
LCA = left coronary
CB = circumflex branch
LAD/AIB = anterior interventricular
LMA = left marginal
PIA/PDA = posterior descending
AVN = atrioventricular nodal
VEINS:
SCV = small cardiac
ACV = anterior cardiac
AIV/GCV = great cardiac
MCV = middle cardiac
CS = coronary sinusLatin ramus marginalis sinister arteriae coronariae sinistrae Supplies left ventricle Source circumflex artery Vein left marginal vein The left marginal artery (or obtuse marginal artery) is a branch of the circumflex artery, originating at the posterior interventricular sulcus, traveling along the left margin of heart towards the apex of the heart.
