Iatrogenic Complete Anterolateral Papillary Muscle Rupture Following Transcatheter Gelatin Sponge Embolization for Coronary Artery Perforation.

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
backgroundIatrogenic papillary muscle rupture (iPMR) is a rare but fatal complication of catheter interventions. No previous report to our knowledge has described iPMR with pathologic findings following transcatheter embolization for guidewire perforation of coronary artery. CASE SUMMARY: An 83-year-old man with unstable angina underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention. On the same night as the percutaneous coronary intervention, a guidewire perforation of the left circumflex artery side branch was identified, resulting in cardiac tamponade. Transcatheter embolization of the culprit vessel was performed using gelatin sponge particles. Severe acute mitral regurgitation with circulatory collapse developed 30 hours later secondary to anterolateral iPMR. Despite mechanical circulatory support, the patient died 2 days after mitral regurgitation onset. DISCUSSION: Pathologic findings revealed embolic materials within the anterolateral papillary muscle, causing new papillary muscle necrosis and rupture. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Gelatin sponge embolization may achieve hemostasis in coronary guidewire perforation but poses a significant risk of iPMR.
