The Mitral Vein is one of those osbcure little veins that you do not often hear about. The Heart itself requires a blood supply, which comes from the Coronary Arteries and a system called the Cardiac supply. The blood is, as usual, supplied by arteries and must be removed in veins. These veins drain (mostly) into the Coronary Sinus which drains directly into the Right Atrium (the veins that bypass the sinus also drain directly into the right atrium). The mitral vein drains the supply from the region around the Mitral Valve (the valve between the Left Atrium and the Levt Veintricle) and it in turn drains directly into the coronary sinus. In the left side of the heart, near the Mitral, or bicuspid, valve.
