Left circumflex artery occlusion during aortic valvuloplasty in a young patient with bicuspid aortic valve: a case report.
Article in JA clinical reports, 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
backgroundAortic valvuloplasty serves as a valve-preserving alternative to aortic valve replacement and offers advantages in younger patients. However, intraoperative complications associated with this technique have rarely been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old male with severe aortic regurgitation due to a congenital bicuspid aortic valve underwent aortic valvuloplasty. During separation from cardiopulmonary bypass, ST-segment elevation was noted on electrocardiography, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed regional wall motion abnormalities. Color Doppler imaging revealed absent flow in the left circumflex artery (LCx). The anesthesiology team promptly alerted the surgeons, and LCx occlusion due to suture annuloplasty was suspected. Removal of the implicated suture restored flow and stabilized hemodynamics.
conclusionsSystematic intraoperative assessment and documentation of coronary flow via TEE are instrumental in diagnosing coronary artery occlusion. Moreover, mutual trust and clear, timely communication between anesthesiologists and surgeons are essential to maintaining surgical safety.
