Key result
Multi-modality imaging guides accurate TR phenotyping and personalized transcatheter treatment selection.
Why the study?
Growing awareness of tricuspid regurgitation and expanding transcatheter repair or replacement devices have underscored the need for multi-modality imaging to assess anatomical and functional characteristics for device and patient selection.
Multi-modality imaging is crucial for accurate phenotyping and device selection in the transcatheter management of tricuspid regurgitation.

Supports multi-modality imaging for TR phenotyping; leaves open prospective validation of imaging-guided device selection.
The growing awareness of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and the fast-expanding array of devices aiming to percutaneously repair or replace the tricuspid valve have underscored the central role of multi-modality imaging in comprehensively assessing the anatomical and functional characteristics of TR. Accurate phenotyping of TR, the right heart, and pulmonary vasculature via echocardiography, computed tomography, and, occasionally, cardiovascular magnetic resonance and right heart catheterization is deemed crucial in choosing the most suitable treatment strategy for each patient and achieving procedural success. In the first part of the present review, key imaging factors for patient selection will be discussed. In the ensuing sections, an overview of the most commonly used, commercially available systems for transcatheter repair/replacement will be presented, along with their respective selection criteria and information on intraprocedural imaging guidance; these are edge-to-edge repair, orthotopic and heterotopic replacement, and valve-in-valve procedures.

Cannata et al. (2024) conducted a review in Tricuspid regurgitation. Multi-modality imaging for transcatheter management was evaluated. Multi-modality imaging is crucial for accurate phenotyping of tricuspid regurgitation and selecting the most suitable transcatheter treatment strategy for each patient.
