Post-procedural necrotizing fasciitis following femoral coronary angiography in patient with chronic endocarditis: A case report.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNecrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening soft tissue infection characterized by rapid tissue necrosis, often leading to sepsis and multisystem organ failure. Necrotizing fasciitis can rarely occur as a post-procedural complication, particularly following cardiac catheterization or angiography. This case report presents the clinical presentation and management of a 64-year-old female with a history of chronic endocarditis and valvular involvement who developed necrotizing fasciitis after femoral coronary angiography. CASE PRESENTATION: A 64-year-old female with a history of chronic endocarditis and valvular involvement underwent femoral coronary angiography as part of her cardiac evaluation. On the first postoperative day, the patient developed worsening pain, swelling, and redness in her right lower extremity, which worsened despite antibiotic therapy and pain management. The patient was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. An emergent right lower extremity fasciotomy was performed to debride the necrotic tissue and release the tension caused by acute compartment syndrome.
conclusionThis case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for NF in patients with persistent soft tissue infection symptoms post-procedure. Early recognition, prompt diagnosis, and aggressive surgical intervention are crucial for the successful management of post-procedural NF following femoral coronary angiography. This report emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach and vigilance in caring for patients to ensure optimal outcomes in such rare but severe complications.
