A case report of ventricular septal defect complicating transcatheter aortic valve implant for aortic regurgitation: novel complication and technical considerations.

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
backgroundTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has proven efficacy in the treatment of aortic stenosis (AS). Understandably, there is increasing enthusiasm for its use to treat aortic regurgitation (AR). However, there are significant anatomical differences between AS and AR which make TAVI for AR more complex. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of technically challenging TAVI for severe AR, which was complicated by a traumatic ventricular septal defect (VSD) that required percutaneous closure. To our knowledge, this is the first published case of VSD post-TAVI for AR. DISCUSSION: This unanticipated complication highlights anatomical differences between TAVI use in AS and AR. Lack of aortic valve calcification and excessive annular compliance made stable deployment of a self-expanding valve extremely challenging. Despite device oversizing, repeated embolization of the prosthesis into the left ventricular outflow tract traumatized the interventricular septum.
