Echocardiographic Imaging of the Tricuspid Valve: Preprocedural Planning and Intraprocedural Guidance.

Transcatheter tricuspid valve (TV) interventions have increased dramatically in recent years. TV imaging is challenging in many respects. Given the TV's anatomic complexity, multimodality imaging, which is centered on echocardiography (echo), plays a significant part in planning and execution of these interventions. With the help of echo-guided imaging, pathophysiologic mechanisms for TV disease are better understood, and thus, appropriate valve intervention can be strategized. Novel devices for the TV continue to be developed, and thus, intraprocedural echo imaging will continue to evolve in the days ahead.
