Abstract

Percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid valve therapy is an evolving treatment option for patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) deemed too fragile for open heart surgery. The present study proposes comprehensive anatomical evaluation of the tricuspid valve, right ventricle (RV), and vena cavae and its spatial relationships with the right coronary artery (RCA) using computed tomography (CT) and investigates the implications for suitability for current technologies.
