Percutaneous treatment of tricuspid regurgitation has been one of the great advances in interventional cardiology in recent years. Imaging follow-up of these patients is usually performed by transthoracic echocardiography. However, if prosthetic dysfunction is suspected, a CT study can give us the keys to adequate analysis. We present the clinical case of a percutaneous tricuspid prosthesis in which 4D cardiac CT allowed us to establish the diagnosis of subclinical thrombosis of the leaflets, and to prescribe the medical treatment previous to a greater degree of prosthetic dysfunction.
