A stuck leaflet after balloon post-dilatation in transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a SAPIEN-3 ultra RESILIA valve: a case report.

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: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a safe and effective therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis. A Stuck leaflet and severe intraprosthetic regurgitation after valve implantation occur rarely but can lead to sudden haemodynamic deterioration. We encountered a case of a stuck leaflet following post-dilatation with the Edwards Sapien 3 Ultra RESILIA valve. Case summary: A 72-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for severe aortic stenosis with shortness of breath. She underwent transfemoral TAVI. After deployment of a 23 mm Sapien 3 Ultra RESILIA valve, post-dilatation was performed due to the presence of paravalvular leak (PVL). Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a stuck leaflet and severe intraprosthetic regurgitation. Aortography also demonstrated severe aortic regurgitation. We performed valve-in-valve procedure using the second 23 mm valve. Post-valve-in-valve transoesophageal echocardiography showed no PVL nor aortic regurgitation, and haemodynamics improved. Discussion: A stuck leaflet is a rare complication following post-dilatation. Severe intraprosthetic regurgitation can lead to sudden haemodynamic changes and may, in some cases, necessitate the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. If haemodynamic changes occur, it is essential to promptly investigate the cause through multiple diagnostic modalities, including transoesophageal echocardiography and angiography.
