Overview
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.
It is named for Adam Christian Thebesius.[1][2][3]
The valve may vary in size, or be completely absent.[4]
It may prevent the regurgitation of blood into the sinus during the contraction of the atrium.
This valve may be double or it may be cribriform.
