Reconstructive embolization for contralateral vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm that developed after internal trapping of ruptured vertebral artery dissection: A case report and literature review.

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
Background: It is not well-known that contralateral vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADA) may be newly revealed after parental artery occlusion for unilateral VADA. However, the optimal treatment strategies and perioperative management have not been established. In this report, we present the case of a patient who required reconstructive embolization in the subacute stage for contralateral VADA developed after endovascular internal trapping of the ruptured VADA. Case Description: A 61-year-old man developed subsequent disturbance of consciousness. Head CT showed a diffuse and symmetrical SAH. 3DCT revealed a fusiform aneurysm of the left intracranial vertebral artery with bleb formation. We performed emergency endovascular parent artery occlusion of the left vertebral artery. A digital subtraction angiography on postoperative day 16 showed continued occlusion of the left VA, and a fusiform aneurysm was noted at the right VA. We performed reconstructive embolization and the patient eventually recovered with minimal persistent symptoms. Conclusion: Since the outcomes of contralateral VAD complicated by infarction or hemorrhage are poor, and most cases develop within 7-14 days after endovascular internal trapping for unilateral VAD, performing bilateral radiographic reinspection within this time frame is recommended for early detection and preventive treatment of possible contralateral VADs.
