Cardiac Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Tricuspid Valve: Preprocedural Planning and Postprocedural Follow-up

Abstract

Transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVIs) are rapidly growing as a less invasive treatment of high surgical risk patients with advanced TR. A comprehensive anatomic and functional assessment of the tricuspid valve and right-sided chambers is essential for candidate selection and procedural planning. Advanced imaging with cardiac computed tomography (CCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can provide accurate anatomic and functional assessment of the tricuspid valve, its apparatus, and the right-sided chambers. In this review, we provide an updated overview of the emerging role of CCT and CMR for TR patient evaluation, TTVI planning, and follow-up.
