A Combined Strategy for TAVR in High-Risk Anatomy: Small Ventricle and Low Coronary Ostia.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundTranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with a critically small left ventricle (LV) carries risks of hemodynamic collapse ("suicide LV") and coronary occlusion. CASE SUMMARY: A 73-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis, marked LV hypertrophy, and a tiny LV cavity (LV end-diastolic diameter 29.3 mm) faced imminent bilateral coronary occlusion because of low ostia and small sinuses. We used aggressive volume loading to maintain preload and a prophylactic bilateral chimney stenting strategy. A 23-mm self-expanding bioprosthesis was successfully implanted with the chimney stents, preserving coronary perfusion. Postprocedural echocardiography showed excellent valve function with minimal paravalvular leak, and the patient recovered without complications. DISCUSSION: This case underscores the necessity of managing both intraventricular space constraints and extreme coronary risks simultaneously. The double-chimney approach provided robust protection where anatomic reserves were absent. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: For TAVR candidates with a critically small LV and high-risk coronary anatomy, a unified protocol combining volume optimization and prophylactic bilateral chimney stenting ensures procedural safety and success.
