Unintentional Septal Arterial Entry During Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing.

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 bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is increasingly adopted as a physiological pacing strategy. Deep septal lead deployment, however, may occasionally result in unexpected vascular staining. CASE SUMMARY: A 70-year-old woman with advanced atrioventricular block and preserved ejection fraction underwent LBBAP. During contrast injection to assess septal lead depth, unexpected opacification of the left anterior descending artery and a septal perforator branch occurred, suggesting inadvertent vascular entry. The lead was promptly repositioned more proximally, achieving optimal electrical parameters. The patient remained asymptomatic, and follow-up echocardiography confirmed preserved ventricular function without pericardial effusion or hematoma. DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report providing direct angiographic visualization of coronary opacification during LBBAP, highlighting the importance of septal vascular anatomy and imaging guidance. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Inadvertent vascular staining during LBBAP is rare and usually benign when promptly recognized. Angiographic contrast injection is useful to confirm lead position and detect unintended vascular entry.
