The anatomy of the tricuspid valve is complex and often variable. Gaining a thorough understanding of the development of the tricuspid valve, its distinct components, and its adjacent structures is crucial to understanding both the pathophysiology of tricuspid valve disorders and possible clinical management strategies. This chapter will review the embryology of the tricuspid valve and consider in detail the key components of the tricuspid valve itself: the tricuspid valve leaflets, the tricuspid valve annulus, and the tricuspid tensor apparatus. It will then review clinically relevant adjacent structures and implications of anatomy for tricuspid valvular intervention.
