Circulation of blood through vessels present around heart muscle is called coronary circulation.

Explanation:

Heart is continuously working, hence needs continuous supply of oxygen in its muscles: this is achieved by supplying blood through left and right coronary arteries. The arteries arise from base of main aorta as it exits from left ventricle of heart.

Coronary veins or Cardiac veins drain deoxygenated blood from heart wall and return to right atrium as coronary sinus.
