Implantation of a Left Ventricular Assist Device With Concomitant Repair of Ascending Aortic Aneurysm.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundLeft ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement with concomitant cardiac procedures carries a similar procedural risk to isolated LVAD implantation. However, due to low rates of occurrence, data on concomitant procedural outcomes for patients with both ascending aortic aneurysms and end-stage heart failure requiring mechanical circulatory support are limited. CASE SUMMARY: We describe the successful concomitant treatment of aortic and left ventricular disease in a 62-year-old man who presented with acute-on-chronic congestive heart failure. DISCUSSION: Although surgical intervention is currently only recommended for aneurysms at 5.0 cm, in this case, the decision for concomitant aneurysm resection was based on the thin-walled nature of the aorta, concern about wall shear stresses, and potential acceleration of aneurysm growth with an LVAD in place. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case demonstrates the feasibility of addressing both the short- and long-term issues of aortic aneurysm growth and heart failure disease with an acceptable level of risk.
