You're most likely referring to the coronary sinus. After blood travels through the coronary arteries to bring oxygen to the heart muscle, it returns through coronary veins that all join to form the coronary sinus. The coronary sinus then empties into the right atrium allowing the deoxygenated blood to go back through the lungs to be "refreshed".

Basically, the definition of an artery is a blood vessel that brings blood out of the heart, thats why you have "special" arteries like the pulmonary artery which carries deoxygenated blood. However, coronary arteries DO carry blood out of the heart like normal arteries. I think you have made a mistake in your question because it carries blood to HEART MUSCLES, not heart chambers for systole.

By collect, I assume that you mean the ones that bring blood back through the heart to be oxygenated by the lungs. These are your veins. Vessels that distribute the oxygenated blood throughout your body from your heart are called arteries.
