## Abstract

Direct transcatheter tricuspid valve annuloplasty represents a significant advancement in the treatment of severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation. Previous studies have shown the efficacy of transcatheter annuloplasty with significant reductions in tricuspid regurgitation and improvements in functional status. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive step-by-step guide to the procedure, focusing on appropriate patient selection, main procedural steps and identification and management of possible complications to enhance our understanding of the procedure and maximize procedural success.
