The SolidWorks closed curve construction of the tricuspid annulus at each of four stages of the cardiac cycle (a) allowed for area and perimeter measurements to be obtained using the SolidWorks “measure” tool. The SolidWorks solid construction of the tricuspid annulus at each of four stages of the cardiac cycle (b) could be exported as a stereolithography file for three-dimensional printing (A: Anterior, AL: Anterolateral, AS: Anteroseptal, ED: End-diastole, ES: End-systole, L: Lateral, MD: Mid-diastole, MS: Mid-systole, P: Posterior, PL: Posterolateral, PS: Posteroseptal, S: Septal)
