Echocardiographic Imaging to Guide Tricuspid Interventions

Abstract

Transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions may offer patients less invasive treatment alternatives to surgery. This review evaluates the use of echocardiography to determine anatomic suitability and guide the 2 most common classes of device currently used worldwide to treat tricuspid regurgitation, tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, and orthotopic transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement. This review outlines the intraprocedural echocardiographic imaging required for these 2 devices.
