A true bicuspid tricuspid valve: 3D imaging to better understanding the forgotten valve

N Suarez-Lara Nancy et al. Int J Cardiovasc Imaging. 2025 Feb.

Abstract

Nowadays, understanding the anatomy of the tricuspid valve is crucial. The bicuspid tricuspid valve is a rare anatomical variation of this valve. We present highly illustrative images with 3D echo that allow a more realistic analysis of the forgotten valve.

Keywords: 3D echocardiography; 3D imaging; Atrial septal defect; Bicuspid tricuspid valve; Congenital heart disease; Tricuspid valve.
