Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common after cardiac transplantation and results in poorer outcomes. Transplant recipients are at high prohibitive risk for redo surgical procedures because of risks associated with a subsequent sternotomy, immunosuppression, and renal failure. Percutaneous therapies have recently become available and may be an option for transplant recipients. However, transplant recipients have complex geometry, and there is a myriad of causes of TR posttransplant. There is a need for careful patient selection for all percutaneous valve interventions, and this is particularly true in transplant recipients who suffer from right ventricular failure and rejection and may undergo repeated endomyocardial biopsies. Cognizant of the rapid developments in this space, this review article focuses on the causes of TR, treatments, and future therapies in heart transplantation recipients to the transplant cardiologist navigate this complex area.
