J Soc Cardiovasc Angiogr Interv. 2024 Mar 6;3(4):101347. doi: 10.1016/j.jscai.2024.101347. eCollection 2024 Apr.

Abstract

Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) offers the potential for improved outcomes for the significant number of patients with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation relative to current treatment options. Imaging is a critical component of the success of this procedure. Here we describe strategies and techniques for the use of 3-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography as an adjunct to standard transesophageal echocardiography during TTVR procedure.

Keywords: 3D intracardiac echocardiography; imaging; transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement; tricuspid valve regurgitation.
