Acute Non-Dominant Right Coronary Artery Occlusion After Bentall Surgery Presenting With Aslanger Pattern.

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
backgroundAcute coronary occlusion is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic complication after a Bentall procedure. Atypical electrocardiographic presentations may delay recognition. CASE SUMMARY: A 55-year-old man underwent elective Bentall surgery for severe aortic regurgitation and ascending aortic aneurysm. After an initially uneventful postoperative course, he developed sudden cardiac arrest on postoperative day 3. After resuscitation, electrocardiography demonstrated an Aslanger pattern. Urgent coronary angiography revealed acute ostial occlusion of a nondominant right coronary artery, successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, with subsequent clinical recovery. DISCUSSION: Coronary obstruction after Bentall surgery, although rare, should be promptly considered in cases of unexpected postoperative instability. This case underscores the diagnostic value of high-risk electrocardiographic patterns beyond classic ST-segment elevation and highlights the clinical relevance of nondominant right coronary artery involvement. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Unexpected instability after Bentall surgery should prompt suspicion of coronary obstruction. Recognition of the Aslanger pattern may facilitate timely life-saving revascularization.
