Pre-procedural CT mapping of the coronary venous system is advised by the current guidelines before many interventional procedures. The published literature for variants of the coronary venous system is scarce. The variant of anterior interventricular vein (AIV) drainage into the left atrium is extremely rare. In this paper, we present multidetector CT findings of two cases of anomalous drainage of the anterior interventricular vein into the left atrium.
