Percutaneous Closure of Postinfarct Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm After Surgical Patch Dehiscence.

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
backgroundLeft ventricular free wall rupture is a life-threatening mechanical complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. In patients with a timely diagnosis, emergent surgical patch repair is the cornerstone of management; re-rupture, surgical patch dehiscence, and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPA) are potential late complications after surgery. CASE SUMMARY: A 72-year-old man presented with NYHA functional class III dyspnea 4 months after surgical patch repair. We report, to our knowledge, the first case of successful percutaneous closure of LVPA resulting from surgical patch dehiscence. DISCUSSION: LVPA after surgical repair is a serious late complication. Multimodality imaging and careful case planning allowed for successful device closure with excellent clinical outcome. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Multimodality cardiac imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis and management of acute left ventricular free wall rupture and LVPA resulting from surgical patch dehiscence. Percutaneous closure of LVPA after surgical patch dehiscence is an effective and safe alternative to redo surgery.
