Tricuspid valve complex<br />
The tricuspid annulus has a complex 3-dimensional dimensional structure, which differs from the more symmetric<br />
“saddle “saddle-shaped” shaped” mitral annulus.<br />
This distinct shape has implications for the design and application of currently available annuloplasty rings<br />
in the tricuspid position (most currently available rings are essentially planar). The novel approaches or<br />
rings tailored to the unique tricuspid annular shape might improve ventricular function and reduce leaflet<br />
stress.<br />
