Perioperative Management of a Pregnant Patient With Severe Mitral Stenosis and Pulmonary Hypertension for Repeat Cesarean Section: The Role of Standby Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Managing pregnant patients with severe mitral stenosis (MS) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains a challenge, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to mitigate maternal and fetal risks. We report a case of a 29-year-old female, gravida 6 para 5, at 37 weeks' gestation with severe rheumatic MS, significant PH, and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction who underwent an elective repeat cesarean delivery. Due to her elevated risk of hemodynamic collapse, invasive monitoring, incremental epidural anesthesia, and standby extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) were utilized. Intraoperative vasopressor and uterotonic selection was optimized to maintain systemic perfusion while minimizing pulmonary vascular resistance. The procedure was successfully completed without complications, with close inpatient monitoring post-partum; both maternal and neonatal outcomes were favorable. This case highlights the value of detailed perioperative preparation, multidisciplinary coordination, and personalized anesthetic and pharmacologic management in pregnancies complicated by severe cardiac disease.
