Article Synopsis
- Progressive tricuspid regurgitation (TR) leads to poorer health outcomes, emphasizing the need for better assessment of its severity and morphology.
- Advances in percutaneous interventions for TR treatment highlight the importance of accurately understanding TR's causes and severity for choosing appropriate therapies.
- The review discusses modern ideas about tricuspid valve structure, TR causes, mechanisms, and the latest echocardiographic methods for grading TR severity.

A robust and efficient approach to reconstruction of the descending thoracic aorta from contiguous 3-D transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) images is proposed. An ad hoc image acquisition protocol was designed to acquire ordered and partially overlapped 3-D TEE data sets, followed by dedicated image processing to align and fuse all acquired data sets. Alignment strategy implemented pairwise rigid registration guided by a priori knowledge, and it was validated using artificially misaligned images.
