1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) including a branch or fenestration offers a less invasive alternative to open surgery in the treatment of aortic arch pathologies. Nevertheless, the occurrence of a proximal type I endoleak (EL) in this specific setting may be particularly challenging to fix. This study presents the case of a type Ia endoleak after a zone 2 single branched TEVAR that was successfully treated with a proximal endovascular relining using a custom made double branch aortic arch graft. Case: A 74 year old male presented with a 70 mm thoracic aortic aneurysm and a type Ia EL 7 years after a zone 2 TEVAR including a retrograde left subclavian artery branch. After multidisciplinary discussion, the patient underwent a hybrid repair with left carotid subclavian bypass and a custom made double branch aortic arch graft to extend proximal sealing into zone 0. The device that was used featured two antegrade inner branches for the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery. Post-operatively, the patient recovered well without neurological deficit. Follow-up imaging at three months confirmed patency of the supra-aortic trunks and favourable aortic remodelling without any residual endoleak. Conclusion: This case suggests that proximal endovascular relining in zone 0 with a custom made double branch aortic arch for treating type Ia endoleak following left subclavian artery branch endograft is feasible and effective in experienced aortic centres.
