Translumbar Endovascular Coiling of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated by Lumbar Epidural Extravasation: A Novel Case.

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
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) require complex surgical management. Currently, endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), including the placement of stent grafts and endovascular coils, offers early survival benefits over open surgery but carries its own distinct set of complications. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with a 35-mm saccular AAA who initially underwent stent graft placement and later required additional endovascular treatment for a type 2 endoleak. Intraoperatively, part of the coil mass appeared to deviate from the expected contour of the aneurysm. Postoperative CT imaging revealed migration of the endovascular coils into the lumbar epidural space. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of coil migration into the lumbar spinal canal following EVAR for an AAA. The patient developed progressive symptoms of lumbar stenosis and radiculopathy, ultimately requiring decompression, fusion, and removal of the migrated coils. This report presents a novel postoperative complication and underscores the importance of careful surgical planning, interdisciplinary collaboration among surgical subspecialists, and thorough clinical and radiographic follow-up.
