A rare case of successful staged surgery for giant coronary artery aneurysm, multiple artery aneurysms, and coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula.

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
Large coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) with multiple arterial involvements are rare, and complications like coronary artery fistulae are extremely uncommon. Managing such cases presents a significant challenge. A 75-year-old female presented with a left inguinal mass and palpitations. Computed tomography revealed an abdominal aortic aneurysm and a left common iliac artery aneurysm. Coronary angiography identified a giant CAA and a coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula. She underwent a two-stage surgical approach: first, an aortobiiliac Y-graft interposition, followed by open-heart surgery for aneurysmectomy and ligation of the pulmonary artery fistula 4 months later. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and she remained well at the 1-year follow-up. This case shows that prioritizing the aneurysm with the highest rupture risk, followed by staged treatment of CAAs, can lead to successful outcomes without major complications.
