Why the study?
Emerging novel transcatheter tricuspid therapies and growing recognition of the clinical significance of tricuspid regurgitation have fueled requirements for improved imaging visualization and interventional imaging skills.
This review highlights the critical role of multi-modality imaging and specialized physician skillsets in guiding complex transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions.

Requires enhanced interventional imaging expertise for emerging tricuspid therapies; leaves open optimal visualization protocols pending validation.
Tricuspid valve pathophysiology is not well-understood. Emergence of novel transcatheter tricuspid therapies has fueled the requirements for improved imaging visualization techniques and interventional imaging physician skillsets in guiding these complex transcatheter procedures. There is growing understanding on the clinical significance of tricuspid regurgitation which expanded the interest for percutaneous tricuspid valve interventions. The present review concentrates on three essential aspects of tricuspid valve pathophysiology: anatomical considerations for tricuspid interventions, optimal timing of tricuspid interventions by imaging guidance, and the role of interventional imaging physicians' skillset and knowledge in this field.
