Endovascular Salvage After False Lumen Misdeployment of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair or the Frozen Elephant Trunk in Aortic Dissection: A Case Report of Two Patients.

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
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and the frozen elephant trunk (FET) are well-established treatment options for aortic dissection (AD). Inadvertent misdeployment of a TEVAR stent graft or FET into the false lumen (FL) can lead to serious complications. We report two cases of FL misdeployment. First, a 68-year-old female with acute Stanford type B AD underwent TEVAR; follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed stent-graft misdeployment into the FL. Second, a 44-year-old female with Marfan syndrome, who had undergone supracoronary ascending aortic grafting for type A AD at 25 years of age, underwent urgent FET 19 years later for a symptomatic dissecting arch aneurysm; follow-up CTA confirmed misdeployment into the FL. In both cases, endovascular rescue was performed with fenestration of the intimal flap and additional stent-graft deployment to reroute flow into the true lumen. Misdeployment of TEVAR or FET into the FL is catastrophic but treatable with rapid diagnosis and timely intervention.
