Transthoracic apical four-chamber view showing: (a) downward displacement of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve (arrow) in relation to the anterior mitral valve leaflet (MV), several enlargement of right atrium (RA), atrialized portion of right ventricle (ARV), and true right ventricle (RV); (b) severe tricuspid valve regurgitation due to the anomalous valvular arrangement.

The images in (Figures 1, 2) show that the characteristic apical displacement of septal tricuspid valve leaflet is 30 mm from the insertion of the anterior mitral valve leaflet.
Transthoracic parasternal long-axis view demonstrating the septal leaflet apical displacement of the tricuspid valve (arrow), the "sail-like configuration" of the enlarged anterior tricuspid leaflet (ATL), and the leftward shift of the interventricular septum reducing left ventricle compliance (IS).
