Endovascular treatment under laparotomy with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate in a pediatric traumatic aortic injury: a case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) guidelines recommend thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for blunt traumatic aortic injuries (BTAI) in adults, especially BTAI grades II to IV. TEVAR is increasingly performed for BTAI in children and adolescents; however, reports on treatment strategies are limited. Percutaneous routes for stenting may not be available in children with anatomically small vessel diameters, and the indications for stent grafts are challenging because of the steep aortic angle. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of TEVAR for BTAI performed under laparotomy with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) injection in an adolescent patient. The patient was a 13-year-old male who sustained injuries due to a fall and presented with severe hypoxia and shock on admission. Computed tomography (CT) showed a thoracic aortic injury with a pseudoaneurysm (SVS grade III) and bilateral pulmonary contusions. We planned to perform TEVAR after venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); however, because of the small diameters of the bilateral common femoral arteries, we placed a stent graft through the left common iliac artery under laparotomy. In addition, the proximal landing zone of the stent graft to the thoracic pseudoaneurysm was short, and we filled the pseudoaneurysm with NBCA after deploying the stent graft to prevent endoleaks. Subsequent CTs showed no endoleaks, and the patient was discharged on day 110.
conclusionsWe report a case of TEVAR in a 13-year-old boy who underwent laparotomy with NBCA injection into a pseudoaneurysm. This method may be useful as an alternative when percutaneous access is not available, and the proximal landing zone cannot be reached.
