Transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR) presents a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical valve replacement, albeit not without its own set of complications. A rare complication is the infolding of the self-expanding valve, which can precipitate cardiac arrest. The estimated incidence rate of this complication stands at 1.

The lymphatic system, which regulates inflammation and fluid homeostasis, is damaged in various diseases including myocardial infarction (MI) and breast-cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Mounting evidence suggests that restoring tissue fluid drainage and clearing excess immune cells by regenerating damaged lymphatic vessels can aid in cardiac repair and lymphedema amelioration. Current treatments primarily address symptoms rather than underlying causes due to a lack of regenerative therapies, highlighting the importance of the lymphatic system as a promising novel therapeutic target.

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is represented as an intricate dysfunctional interplay between the heart and kidneys, marked by cardiorenal inflammation and fibrosis. Unlike other organs, the repair process in cardiorenal injury involves a regenerative phase characterized by proliferation and polyploidization, followed by a subsequent pathogenic phase of fibrosis. In CRS, acute or chronic cardiorenal injury leads to hyperactive inflammation and fibrotic remodeling, associated with injury-mediated immune cell (Macrophages, Monocytes, and T-cells) infiltration and myofibroblast activation.

The leukotriene B4 receptor 2 (BLT2) is a G-protein coupled receptor, which is endogenously activated by 12()-hydroxyheptadeca-5Z,8E,10E-trienoic acid (12-HHT). BLT2 is gaining attention as a potential therapeutic target involved in various pathologies including diabetic wound healing, ophthalmic diseases, and colitis. However, validation of BLT2 as drug target requires chemical probes and pharmacological tools which will allow for application in vivo.
