Percutaneous coronary intervention in anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery: a rare case report of a dual-left anterior descending artery with a pre-pulmonary course.

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: Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is a rare congenital anomaly. Their percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when an ischaemia is documented remains challenging. Case presentation: We report the case of a 52-year-old patient from Bangladesh with dual-origin LAD arising from both left and right sinus with a pre-pulmonary course, presenting with exertional angina and documented myocardial ischaemia. Computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the anatomical course of the AAOCA. Percutaneous coronary intervention was successfully performed using tailored techniques to treat significant atherosclerotic lesions. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of CT scan in delineating the anatomical characteristics of AAOCA, and the feasibility and efficacy of PCI in symptomatic, non-high-risk AAOCA, emphasizing its role as a minimally invasive alternative within a multidisciplinary approach.
