“…2 ) which he eventually published in 1705 as Novum vasorum corporis humani systema [ 15 ]. He was the first to describe the presence of tiny venous tributaries communicating between cardiac veins and chambers of heart [ 16 ]. As part of his experimental design, he ligated the superior and inferior vena cava as well as pulmonary veins.…”

Raymond de Vieussens was an exemplary anatomist who made seminal contributions in the field of cardiology. During initial part of his academic career, he adopted human dissection based experiments as medium of his research. This was in accordance with prevailing trend among anatomists during 17th century. He discovered the presence of tiny venous tributaries communicating between cardiac veins and chambers of heart (ducti carnosi/venae cordis minimae). He reported the existence of a collateral circulatory pathway between right and left coronary arterial systems (Vieussens arterial ring). He was the first to note the valve at the junction of great cardiac vein and coronary sinus (valve of Vieussens) and the prominent oval margin of the fossa ovalis (Vieussens Annulus). All his findings were associated with considerable clinical significance as evidenced in literature that followed. Vieussens accurately demonstrated the three-layered orientation of myocardium and gave a precise description of coronary arteries and their branches. At the onset of 18th century, buoyed by royal patronage from King Louis XIV of France, the second half of Vieussens illustrious career was defined by pathologic anatomy (autopsy based) and anatomo clinical correlations. This was a new trend initiated by Vieussens in anatomical research and was later adopted as a signature method by anatomists of 18th century. As a true connoisseur of cardiologic anatomy, Vieussens accurately charted the anatomo clinical correlations of cardiac tamponade, mitral stenosis and aortic regurgitation. His contributions were pivotal elements in metamorphosis of cardiology as a robust discipline of medicine in modern times.

“…6 Thebesius did not study the arterioluminal connections, and the arterioluminal connections are not veins ( Figure 1). 3,5,[7][8][9][10][11][12] The authors appear not to have translated the original works of either Vieussens or Thebesius as Wearn has done, 1,9 and thus inferred from an inaccurate source 6 that both Vieussens and Thebesius studied thebesian veins.…”

“…8,9 The eponym "vessels of Wearn" has been offered to describe those thebesianlike vessels on the arterial side of the capillary bed. 3,5,10,11 Regardless of whether the eponym is adopted, the medical and scientific community would be well served if a consistent terminology was agreed upon.…”
