The LuX-Valve Plus is a novel radial force-independent orthotopic transjugular transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement device proven to be effective in TR reduction. We describe preprocedural assessment for eligibility and procedural planning by means of computed tomography as well as procedural steps of device implantation under multimodality imaging guidance including transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), and fluoroscopy: steering into the right ventricle, leaflet capture by graspers, fine valve adjustment, and septal anchor deployment. Potential pitfalls are avoided by achieving optimal alignment by means of TEE multiplanar reconstruction to steer the delivery system, and using mid-esophageal and deep gastric views of 3-dimensional TEE and supplementary ICE to visualize the graspers for leaflet capture, especially when TEE imaging is technically challenging.

Background: The rise of transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation (TTVI) therapies represents a major advancement for high-risk patients with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation, offering a safer, minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery. However, the low volume of procedures and training highlights an urgent need for skills development and pre-procedural preparation, which simulation can address by enhancing learning and expanding treatment availability.
Case Summary: An 87-year-old woman with permanent atrial fibrillation and symptomatic severe functional tricuspid regurgitation underwent a transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with the LuX-Valve system.
