Valve of coronary sinus
Fold in the interior lining of the right atrium of the heart / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the anatomy of the heart, the valve of the coronary sinus (also called the Thebesian valve, after Adam Christian Thebesius[1][2][3]) is a valve located at the orifice of the coronary sinus where the coronary sinus drains into the right atrium.[4] It prevents blood from flowing backwards into the coronary sinus during contraction of the heart.
