Dear Author,

Thank you for the excellent report. Please provide your kind attention to the difference between the vessels of Wearn and Thebesius. Approximately fifty percent of the medical literature applies the term "Thebesian veins" to the "vessels of Wearn."

Arteriosinusoidal vessels described by Wearn connect to myocardial sinusoids. The myocardial sinusoids are often pathologically altered and readily apparent on microscopy in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.

Dr. Wearn's work work detailing the difference between the Thebesian veins and the vessels of Wearn (which he referred to as arterioluminal vessels). http://bit.ly/JTWearn

The myocardial sinusoids are not phantom as they connect to the arteriosinusoidal vessels. The vessels of Wearn include the arteriosinusoidal and the arterioluminal vessels of the heart. Wearn's distinguished Harvey lecture of 1940 again reported the difference between the "Thebesian veins" and the "AL & AS" vessels (vessels of Wearn). However, this was soon obscured in the medical literature. My hypothesis is that with a lack of a pronoun such as the "vessels of Wearn," the vessels were described as Thebesian veins.
