Dear Authors,
Thank you for the excellent article.
The image appears to depict an enlarged sinusoid, a structure that was not morphometrically described by Thebesius.
It may be preferable to refer to the sinusoid as "myocardial," instead of attributing it to either Wearn or Thebesius as the meandering sinusoids connect to both the vessels of Wearn and the Thebesian veins. http://bit.ly/JTWearn
Since this appears to be a dilated sinusoid (and possibly its common opening), the fistulae may be vessels of Wearn as they connected to a ventricular chamber to the posterior descending artery, which originated from the right coronary artery.
Cardiac radiologist Dr. Grollman discusses the vessels of Wearn (arterioluminal & arteriosinusoidal vessels) & the vessels of Thebesius in his insightful letter.
My opinion is that accurate anatomic terminology is a basic principle underlying good medical science, and I ask others to consider whether the aforementioned definitions are appropriate.
If the terms are not appropriate, please consider sharing why through a comment.
If this comment is not helpful, please let me know how it might be improved.
Thank you very much.
