This review highlights innovative attempts at developing effective transcatheter heart valve prostheses for the pulmonary and tricuspid positions and details their clinical application.
This review summarizes the development and clinical application of transcatheter valve prostheses for the right heart (pulmonary and tricuspid positions).

May guide early adoption in select right-sided cases; leaves open need for RCTs on durability and outcomes.
Minimally invasive, catheter-based treatment of valvular dysfunction has become an integral part of clinical routine. As left heart valvular disease is much more common and thus commercially of interest, transcatheter solutions for the treatment of aortic and mitral valvular defects were the first to become broadly clinically available, while even today options for the right heart valve are rare. This review looks at innovative attempts at developing effective transcatheter heart valve prostheses for the pulmonary and tricuspid heart valves, details their experience and highlights those that have made their way to application in humans.

Kuetting et al. (2014) conducted a review in Right heart valvular dysfunction (pulmonary and tricuspid). Transcatheter heart valve prostheses for pulmonary and tricuspid valves was evaluated. This review highlights innovative attempts at developing effective transcatheter heart valve prostheses for the pulmonary and tricuspid positions and details their clinical application.
