Even though the tricuspid valve is no longer “forgotten”, it still remains poorly understood. In this review, we focus on some controversial and still unclear aspects of tricuspid anatomy as illustrated by noninvasive imaging techniques. In particular, we discuss the anatomical architecture of the so-called tricuspid annulus with its two components (i.e., the mural and the septal annulus), emphasizing the absence of any fibrous “ring” around the right atrioventricular junction. Then we discussed the extreme variability in number and size of leaflets (from two to six), highlighting the peculiarities of the septal leaflet as part of the septal atrioventricular junction (crux cordis). Finally, we describe the similarities and differences between the tricuspid and mitral valve, suggesting a novel terminology for tricuspid leaflets. |
