Percutaneous Interventricular Septal Access Guided by Subcostal Echocardiography and Fluoroscopy for Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in a Patient with Aortic and Mitral Mechanical Valves.
Article in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mechanical prosthetic aortic and mitral valves preclude either a retrograde aortic or transseptal approach to the left ventricular (LV) endocardium. Several operators have reported on the application of nonconventional techniques for ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation including transventricular septal puncture, epicardial approach, transmechanical valve approach, transcoronary venous approach, and transapical approach. Incorporating transventricular access to the LV under intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance has been previously attempted in VT ablation procedures in patients with both aortic and mitral mechanical valves. However, while ICE is readily used in the United States, its use is less common in Europe, since the health insurance agencies largely do not cover the costs of ICE catheters. We therefore herein present a case of VT ablation in the LV using a transventricular approach in a patient who underwent mechanical double valve replacement performed under subcostal echocardiographic and fluoroscopic guidance.
