Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

Purpose of Review

Right ventricular (RV) function is a key determinant in selecting and managing patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) or transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER). This review aims to highlight the role of multimodality imaging in assessing RV function, with a focus on its impact on patient selection, procedural planning, and prognostic evaluation.

Recent Findings

Advances in echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac computed tomography, and right heart catheterization have improved the ability to evaluate RV morphology, systolic performance, and pulmonary hemodynamics. Each modality offers complementary insights, though limitations remain in standardization, reproducibility, and prognostic validation. Emerging imaging strategies and novel functional parameters provide opportunities for more refined risk stratification.

Summary

Integrating multimodality imaging enables a comprehensive evaluation of RV function and enhances decision-making prior to TTVR and T-TEER. A tailored imaging approach improves patient selection and may ultimately optimize outcomes in severe tricuspid regurgitation.
