Abstract |
The advent of novel transcatheter therapies for severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has attracted much attention. Novel 3-dimensional imaging techniques have permitted analysis of the tricuspid valve (TV) anatomy from unparalleled views and better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of TR. Grading TR and assessment of right ventricular function remain challenging, and although 2-dimensional echocardiography is the mainstay imaging technique to evaluate patients with severe TR the use of 3-dimensional echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance is increasing. The number of transcatheter interventions for TR is growing, and procedural success relies significantly on the pre-procedural evaluation of the anatomy of the TV, etiology and severity of TR, right ventricular size and function, and importantly, the anatomic relationships of the TV. The role of multimodality imaging in patient selection and procedural planning for transcatheter TV repair is reviewed. |
