Towards 2D phase-contrast of tricuspid valve flow
Lamy J., Seemann F., Vera RG., Heiberg E., Peters D.
Tricuspid valve flow evaluation is important for evaluation of regurgitation, used as a surrogate of pressures in the RV and as a criterion for evaluation of diastolic dysfunction. While 4D flow methods have interesting possibilities for retrospective valve flow evaluation its practical use is still limited. Here we present a method for direct tricuspid valve flow evaluation in a single breath-hold using 2D valve-following phase contrast sequence with a dynamic slice plane.
