    The coronary sinus valve, also known as the Thebesian valve, is a semicircular fold of membrane at the opening of the coronary sinus that prevents backflow of blood into the sinus during atrial contraction. The size of this valve can vary and it may even be absent in some individuals. The superior vena cava lies at the junction of the inferior vena cava and right atrium, and in fetal life the Eustachian valve helps direct blood flow through the right atrium and into the left atrium, though this valve is vestigial in adults.

    Coronary sinus valve

    Coronary sinus valve

    the valve of the coronary sinus (Thebesian valve) is a semicircular fold of the lining membrane of the atrium, at the orifice of the coronary sinus. The valve may vary in size, or be completely absent It may prevent the regurgitation of blood into the sinus during the contraction of the atrium

    Superior vena cava

    lies at the junction of the inferior vena cava and right atrium In fetal life, the Eustachian valve helps direct the flow of oxygen-rich blood through the right atrium into the left atrium via the foramen ovale While the Eustachian valve persists in adult life, it is essentially vestigial (Occurring or persisting as a rudimentary or degenerate structure)
