Case report: inadvertent misplacement of pacemaker leads in the left ventricle and left circumflex artery.

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
Background: Pacemaker implantation has become a routine procedure in contemporary cardiology. Several possible complications during and after the procedure have been described, with this article focusing on the rare complication and the prevention of left-sided lead placement after arterial puncture. Case summary: A 90-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent transient ischaemic attacks following a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation six weeks earlier. Echocardiography and fluoroscopy revealed misplacement of the pacemaker leads in the left ventricle and left circumflex artery. After Heart Team discussion, a leadless pacemaker was implanted and the leads were extracted without complications. A coronary lesion caused by the pacemaker lead was treated by implantation of a drug-eluting stent, and the patient was discharged 5 days later. Discussion: There is limited evidence on the management of pacemaker leads being actively fixed in the coronary system and left ventricle. In this case we were able to demonstrate that even in elderly patients the removal of recently implanted leads may be seen as a therapeutic option.
