Transcatheter electrosurgical aortic septostomy optimizes distal landing zone in chronic dissection.
Article in JTCVS techniques, 2024. 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
Objective: Efficacy of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for chronic type B aortic dissection (CTBAD) is dependent on eliminating retrograde false lumen perfusion and remodeling the aorta. We describe the efficacy of a novel transcatheter electrosurgical technique to fenestrate the dissection flap and create a distal seal zone for TEVAR in CTBAD. Methods: A retrospective review of the Emory Aortic Database from 2016 to 2023 identified 33 patients who underwent TEVAR with intentional endovascular rupture of the dissection flap (Knickerbocker; KNICK) for CTBAD. In 11 patients, we performed transcatheter electrosurgical aortic septostomy (TECSAS) before KNICK. The technical aspects of TECSAS + KNICK are described and results compared with TEVAR + KNICK alone. Results: Dissection chronicity, aortic size, and preoperative demographics were similar between groups. Technical success was 100%, with zero stroke or paraplegia in both groups. Thirty-day mortality for TECSAS versus KNICK was 0% versus 13.6% ( Conclusions: The addition of TECSAS to intentional endovascular rupture of the dissection flap in CTBAD improves distal seal, eliminating retrograde false lumen perfusion. This technique is a safe and precise method to fenestrate a dissection flap and optimize TEVAR in CTBAD.
