Multi-detector row computed tomography assessment of the tricuspid valve and surrounding structures. (A) displays the MDCT assessment of TA anatomy and dimensions. (B) shows the functional assessment of the RV using computed tomography feature-tracking longitudinal strain. (C) shows the spatial relation of the TA (red circle) with the RCA (green line). This is an important information to assess the feasibility and plan the location where to implant the anchors (light blue cylinders) of the Cardioband device. (D) shows the assessment of the distance between the RCA and the TA on two predicted positions where the anchors of the Cardioband device will be placed. LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; MDCT, multi-detector row computed tomography; RA, right atrium; RCA, right coronary artery; RV, right ventricle; TA, tricuspid annulus.
