Case Report: Ascending hope-urgent endovascular repair of aortic pseudoaneurysm.

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
We report a case of an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm that developed as a complication of coronary artery bypass graft surgery and was managed with percutaneous endovascular repair. A 59-year-old man presented 9 months after bypass surgery, with complaints of dysphagia and shortness of breath. Computed tomography and echocardiography demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta. The patient's overall condition put him at a very high perioperative risk, prohibiting surgical intervention. However, the patient deteriorated clinically and suffered cardiac arrest, requiring repeated resuscitation efforts. In need of an urgent solution, the heart team recommended the interventional cardiology team perform a percutaneous endovascular repair, which resulted in significant hemodynamic improvement. Patients' clinical improvement allowed the surgical team to conduct a sternotomy to remove substantial mediastinal blood clots and place a bovine patch on a residual aortic leak. After recovery, the patient was discharged home and at 1-year follow-up is doing well. This case demonstrates the feasibility of percutaneous endovascular treatment in medical emergencies of the ascending aorta, when standard surgical treatment carries unacceptable risk.
