Challenging Anatomy of the Tricuspid Valve for Transcatheter Therapies
n Large tricuspid annulus n Nonplanar, elliptical n Fragile TA tissue, narrow
annular shelf
n Noncalcified annulus n Angulation with SVC, IVC n Trabeculated RV, mucular
bands, chordae
n Thin RV free wall n Proximity of AV node, right
His bundle branch
n Proximity of the RCA to
annulus, risk of injury
n Risk of occlusion of
coronary sinus, vena cava,
n Slow-flow in RV n Pacemaker, ICD leads
