ECMO support in cardiac intervention of severe pulmonary stenosis: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
rationalePatients of critical pulmonary artery stenosis would face severe hypoxemia, cardiac failure as well as massive hemorrhage during percutaneous balloon dilation and pulmonary arterial stent implantation. Here, we present a case in which the elective use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support successfully facilitated safe percutaneous balloon dilation of pulmonary artery and stent implantation on a patient with severe pulmonary artery stenosis caused by aorto-arteritis. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 47-year-old man was hospitalized due to 10 years of post-exercise exhaustion and shortness of breath. Half a month ago the symptoms deteriorated. He also manifested systemic edema and could only sit upright to breath during night time. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) indicated severe pulmonary stenosis caused by aorto-arteritis. DIAGNOSES: Right pulmonary artery stenosis, left pulmonary artery occlusion, severe tricuspid regurgitation, right atrium, and ventricle enlargement, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rates, NYHA class IV, pulmonary infection.
interventionsV-A ECMO support was considered during percutaneous balloon dilation of pulmonary artery and stent implantation. OUTCOMES: The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure with no inotropic support. ECMO was successfully weaned off after the intervention, with no procedural complications. Postoperative echocardiography indicated much better heart function, and he was discharged uneventfully 5 days later.
conclusionV-A ECMO is capable of preventing hypoxemia and providing effective circulation support during cardiac intervention in patients of severe pulmonary stenosis.
