Echocardiographic assessment of the tricuspid valve. (A) displays the apical four-chamber view where the anterior and septal leaflet of the TV can be visualized. (B) shows the parasternal long-axis view of the RV where the anterior and posterior leaflet of the TV can be imaged. In the parasternal short-axis view (C), the posterior and anterior leaflet of the TV can be imaged. (D) shows the mid-esophageal four-chamber view where the anterior and septal leaflet of the TV can be observed. (E) displays the transgastric RV inflow view where the posterior and anterior leaflet of the TV can be imaged. From the mid-esophageal RV inflow-outflow view (F) the anterior and posterior leaflet of the TV can be imaged. From the transgastric TV short-axis view (G), all the TV leaflets can be simultaneously visualized. Similarly, 3D images of the TV acquired from the apical (H) and mid-esophageal (I) four-chamber view can show all the TV leaflets simultaneously. AL, anterior leaflet; AoV, aortic valve; MV, mitral valve; PL, posterior leaflet; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle; SL, septal leaflet; TV, tricuspid valve.
