Balloon and Glue Technique: A Modification of Distal Reinforcement to Prevent Anastomotic New Entry, Reducing Replacement Range in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.

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
In emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection, the creation of needle holes can cause various issues and complications. One persistent challenge is the prevention of distal anastomotic new entry tears, which frequently necessitate additional intervention. Modification of the distal reinforcement technique offers a straightforward solution by combining existing hemostatic agents with tools such as occlusion balloons. We describe a modified distal reinforcement procedure employing a balloon-and-glue technique to help prevent new entry tears at the distal anastomosis and avoid total arch replacement. Ten patients with acute type A aortic dissection were treated using this technique. Postoperative computed tomography indicated no evidence of distal anastomotic entry tears. In conclusion, this modified distal reinforcement technique represents not only a method to prevent distal anastomotic new entry tears but also a palliative approach that may obviate the need for total arch replacement in patients in poor condition or of advanced age.
