Novel Mother-in-Child Technique to Implant Coronary Sinus Reducer in a Challenging Anatomy.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundA 73-year-old woman with a history of complete revascularization for coronary artery disease presented with refractory angina despite multiple antianginal treatments. CASE SUMMARY: Repeated coronary angiography revealed no significant obstructive lesions. Functional invasive coronary assessment confirmed coronary microvascular dysfunction. An A-Flux coronary sinus reducer (VahatiCor) was proposed. Given a very vertically oriented coronary sinus, device deployment was challenging. We then employed a novel mother-in-child technique using a 10 F Oscor Adelante Breezaway 120 degrees catheter (Oscor) to optimize support during A-Flux implantation. DISCUSSION: Coronary sinus reducers may provide a favorable hemodynamic response in patients with microvascular angina. The A-Flux device's design may facilitate navigation in complex anatomies, although inadequate support remains a potential limitation. The mother-in-child technique may help overcome this challenge. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Insufficient support during coronary sinus reduction procedures is a major challenge for interventionists. Using the mother-in-child technique with a 10 F Oscor Adelante Breezaway 120 degrees catheter may help address this issue in certain patients.
