- Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common but historically neglected condition linked to poor outcomes.
- Recent advances in surgical and transcatheter interventions have renewed interest in TR management.
- Optimal therapy selection requires an integrated approach considering etiology, disease stage, comorbidities, risk, and anatomical feasibility.
- A standardized stepwise work-up from referral to expert heart valve centres is proposed, including algorithms for clinical, biological, and imaging assessments.
- Multimodality imaging (echocardiography, CT, MRI) and invasive haemodynamic evaluation are key components.
- Multidisciplinary collaboration among specialists is emphasized, aligning with the 2025 ESC/EACTS Guidelines.
- The review aims to harmonize diagnostic standards and ensure consistent evaluation and management of TR patients.
