Background: Treatment of residual mitral regurgitation (MR) with different percutaneous devices after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been reported as an alternative option to reclipping or surgery. This review aims at describing the different transcatheter strategies available and their results when managing residual MR after TEER.
Methods: A literature search was undertaken across Pubmed, ScienceDirect, SciELO, DOAJ, and Cochrane library databases, to identify article reporting patients with post-TEER residual MR managed by a transcatheter approach that did not involve only the implantation of new clips.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of using expanded CD34+ cells for treating patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and reduced left ventricular function, crucial for improving patient outcomes.
- Patients with severe AMI (left ventricular ejection fraction <50%) are randomly assigned to receive either CD34+ cell treatment alongside standard care or standard care only, with a focus on monitoring major adverse cardiac events over six months.
- This trial is groundbreaking as it explores the automated expansion and administration of autologous CD34+ cells, addressing current technological limitations in cell therapy for heart recovery post-AMI.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been identified as a marker of advanced cardiac damage in aortic stenosis patients. However, the factors associated with poorer outcomes among AF patients in contemporary TAVR practice, particularly regarding mortality and heart failure (HF)-related hospitalizations, remain largely unknown.
Methods: Multicenter study including consecutive patients with a history of AF, evaluating the clinical outcomes and predictors of mortality, and HF-related hospitalization, who underwent TAVR with newer-generation devices using balloon or self-expandable valves.
