An unusual avulsion of the prosthetic aortic valve with an aortic root pseudoaneurysm: a case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
backgroundComplete avulsion accompanied by aortic root pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of infective endocarditis (IE). Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) plays an important role in perioperative evaluation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old male patient, who underwent a Bentall procedure for an aortic aneurysm 8 years ago, was admitted with avulsion of a prosthetic aortic valve caused by IE. This led to significant structural damage and the development of an aortic root pseudoaneurysm. TEE provided real-time, multidimensional insights into IE-induced changes in adjacent structures and allowed detailed assessment of the composite graft’s integrity. A combined Bentall-Cabrol procedure was successfully performed, guided precisely by TEE findings. This included management of the floating prosthetic aortic valve and reconstruction of the aortic annulus.
conclusionThis case highlights the valuable role of TEE in diagnosing and guiding complex surgical interventions for IE, particularly when involving prosthetic valve complications.
