Claim 18:
19. A method for tricuspid valve replacement, comprising:
placing a catheter containing the tricuspid valve replacement system of claim 1 in a collapsed state within a heart of a patient; and
removing the tricuspid valve replacement system from the catheter causing the tricuspid valve replacement device to transition from the collapsed state to an expanded state with the atrial dome positioned within a right atrium of the heart, the central ring and valve within an annulus of a native tricuspid valve of the heart, and the ventricular struts within a right ventricle of the heart so that the atrial dome and ventricular struts stabilize the tricuspid valve replacement system within the heart in order for the valve to replace function of the native tricuspid valve.
