Complication of stent displacement from the internal jugular vein to the pulmonary artery after jugular vein stenting in the treatment of intracranial hypertension: a case report.
Article in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInternal jugular vein stenting is a treatment for intracranial hypertension caused by internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS). Reports on this procedure remain limited, and stent migration is an exceptionally rare complication. CASE PRESENTATION: A patient in their 20s presented with headache, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. Imaging revealed left transverse sinus stenosis, leading to a diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Symptoms initially improved following left transverse sinus stent implantation. However, three months after surgery, the patient developed recurrent headaches. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed restenosis of the left transverse sinus and new stenosis of the right internal jugular vein (IJV). Stenting at both sites significantly relieved intracranial hypertension. However, the patient later developed palpitations and peripheral edema. Follow-up angiography confirmed the migration of the right IJV stent into the right pulmonary artery.
conclusionStent migration should be suspected if palpitations and peripheral edema occur after placement. In extreme cases, IJV stenting can lead to stent migration into the pulmonary artery. For asymptomatic patients, short-term conservative management is feasible. In the present case, the migrated stent caused no significant harm to the patient.
