Why the study?
Can a novel echocardiographic tricuspid valve nomenclature classification scheme identify different TV morphologies using TEE imaging?
Can a novel echocardiographic tricuspid valve nomenclature classification scheme identify different TV morphologies using TEE imaging?
A novel TEE-based classification scheme reveals that only about half of patients have the classic 3-leaflet tricuspid valve, while nearly 40% have 4 functional leaflets.

Alerts clinicians to common TV variants on TEE; leaves open validation for procedural planning.
Hahn et al. (2021) studied this question.
