Transcatheter vacuum-assisted aspiration of large intracardiac and intravascular masses.
Review in EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Intravascular and intracardiac masses are usually represented by thrombi, tumours, and vegetations. They can affect both the right and left chambers of the heart and the venous and arterial circulation. Traditionally, their treatment is surgical or, in some circumstances, based on systemic anticoagulation/fibrinolysis. However, the complexity and frailty of patients who sometimes present with these conditions have pushed surgeons to find alternative minimally invasive effective treatments. While small masses can be removed with multiple devices, large masses are a more challenging problem. Vacuum-assisted aspiration systems such as the AngioVac System were developed to treat intravenous and right-sided heart thrombi. The application of the AngioVac System was widened to right-sided endocarditis and, later, to left-sided thrombi and vegetations. This review summarises the clinical results of different uses of the vacuum-assisted aspiration system to treat intravenous and intracardiac masses.
