An out of the box treatment for an infected pseudoaneurysm: Deep to superficial femoral artery transposition.

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
An infected pseudoaneurysm is a condition that has become more common in recent years, with the proliferation of endovascular intervention and the use of intravenous drugs. If left untreated, an infected pseudoaneurysm can progress to rupture, which can lead to life-threatening hemorrhage. No clear consensus has been reached among vascular surgeons regarding the management of infected pseudoaneurysms, and the literature describes a wide range of treatment techniques. In the present report, we describe an "out of the box" approach to infected pseudoaneurysms: a superficial femoral artery to deep femoral artery transposition, as an alternative to ligation with or without bypass reconstruction. We also describe our experience with six patients who underwent this procedure with 100% technical success and limb salvage rates. Although we implemented this technique for cases of infected pseudoaneurysms, we believe it can also be applied to other cases of femoral pseudoaneurysms when angioplasty or graft reconstruction is not feasible. However, further research with larger cohorts is warranted.
