the right interventricular sulcus
I think it is atrioventricular sulus
The right coronary artery lies in the atrioventricular sulcus.
The coronary sinus runs in the posterior coronary sulcus. In the anterior coronary sulci the stems of the coronary artery run. The circumflex branch of the left and the extension of the right coronary artery that becomes the posterior descending artery run around the coronary sulcus from front to back
anterior interventricular sulcus
Interventricular Sulcus

The heart muscle is supplied with oxygenated blood by the coronary arteries. Along with the oxygenated blood, the arteries also supplies the heart muscle with nutrient-filled blood.
Main reason is genetic and bad life style, final result in arterioles is Calcification along with other minerals and waste materials of the metabolism; (hardening or loosing the elasticity and clogging) of the coroner (heart) arteriole's' (The blood vessels that supply blood for heart it self) especially inner walls.
A coronary artery stent is a small, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery to help keep the artery open. To place the stent, a small incision is made in the groin area to reach the artery there. A catheter is guided through the groin artery into an area of the coronary artery which is blocked. The stent is inserted along with a balloon catheter and expands when the balloon is inflated. The stent is then left there to help keep the artery open.Reviewed ByReview Date: 03/21/2009David C.

The LCA travels through the coronary sulcus under the left auricle & divides into2 branches: anterior interventricular branch & the circumflex branch The RCA supplies the Right Atrium & the sinotrial node, continues along the coronary sulcus under the right auricle, & gives off 2 branches: Right Marginal branch & Posterior interventricular branch Arteries carry deoxygenated blood
It is used when there is nearly complete or totally complete blockage in one or more coronary arteries (often after myocardial infarction/heart attack or coronary syndrome, in which there has been no loss of functioning heart muscle, but there has been significant chest pain along with functional decline).
Coronary heart disease refers to the failure of coronary circulation to supply adequate circulation to cardiac muscle and surrounding tissue. Coronary heart disease is the most common form of disease affecting the heart and an important cause of premature death. It's predicted that coronary heart disease will affect all the regions of the world by 2020.
Performed in a cardiac catheterization lab, atherectomy is also called removal of plaque from the coronary arteries. It can be used instead of, or along with, balloon angioplasty. Atherectomy is successful about 95% of the time
