Abstract
The tricuspid valve has gained interest recently because of the poor outcomes with current treatments and advances in percutaneous valve interventions. A sound understanding of the anatomy and pathologies of the tricuspid valve is critical in its evaluation and management of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). A multi-modality imaging approach with transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging all have their individual and collective roles in the evaluation of TR and guidance of surgical and percutaneous procedures. This combined with clinical factors will contribute to defining timing, indications, modality selection and risk stratification for tricuspid valve interventions, which currently remains controversial. 2021 Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy.
