Massive left ventricular Pseudoaneurysm four weeks post-myocardial infarction and percutaneous coronary intervention: a case report.

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
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysms (LVPA) are rare complications of myocardial infarction (MI), occurring in less than 1% of cases. Diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific symptoms, particularly in large aneurysms. Imaging modalities like echocardiography, CTA, and CMR are vital for identifying LVPA, especially in atypical presentations involving massive aneurysms. We report a 75-year-old male with chest pain, diagnosed with inferior wall MI due to left circumflex artery occlusion and treated with PCI. Four weeks later, echocardiography detected an aneurysmal outpouching, confirmed by CTA and CMR, which revealed an unusually large aneurysm with a 30-mm neck, thrombus formation, and extensive myocardial damage. Conservative management was chosen after the patient declined surgery. This case is significant due to the aneurysm's extraordinary size, emphasizing the role of multimodal imaging, particularly CMR, in diagnosis and management. Further research is needed to refine treatment guidelines for such complex cases.
