In historic perspectives, tricuspid valve was considered as “forgotten valve” in the cardiovascular field. Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is the main disease of the tricuspid valve, and the number of patients is large. TR patients have mostly treated conservatively with drugs due to high surgical mortality, so the effective treatment of TR patients is far from satisfactory. With the development of interventional technology, transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) is expected to become a better choice. In recent years, a number of TTVI devices have entered clinical trials and achieved good results. Due to the late development of TTVI technology and insufficient accumulation of clinical applications, there are no uniform inclusion criteria and evaluation indicators for research endpoints when conducting clinical trials. This article focuses on the introduction of different instruments of TTVI, and summarizes the current status, research progress and problems of these treatments.
