Core Tip	Eustachian valve is usually considered to be a benign finding in the absence of associated cardiac anomalies. Moreover, eustachian valve is frequently found in adult patients with septal abnormalities mainly patent foramen ovale. It may actively facilitate the mechanism of paradoxical embolism by directing the blood from the inferior vena cava towards the interatrial septum via patent foramen ovale into the left atrium. Therefore, the presence of such anatomic variant may represent per se an increased risk factor for left circulation thromboembolism.
