Precision Management of High-Risk Coronary Obstruction During TAVR Using a Physiology-Guided Strategy.
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
backgroundCoronary artery obstruction is a rare but devastating complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Prophylactic chimney stenting is a bailout strategy but carries long-term risks. CASE SUMMARY: A 72-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis and high-risk coronary artery obstruction anatomy (low left coronary ostium height of 9.1 mm, redundant calcified leaflet) underwent TAVR. Angiography after valve deployment showed ambiguous left coronary leaflet displacement with delayed contrast clearance. However, immediate and dynamic fractional flow reserve (FFR) assessments consistently remained above the ischemic threshold (>0.80) despite aggressive balloon postdilations. Consequently, chimney stenting was safely deferred. The patient was asymptomatic at the 3-month follow-up. DISCUSSION: Relying solely on anatomical predictors may lead to overtreatment. Physiological assessment using FFR effectively defines the functional significance of anatomical proximity, safely avoiding unnecessary permanent implants. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Dynamic FFR monitoring differentiates anatomical proximity from true functional ischemia during TAVR, safely guiding the avoidance of unnecessary chimney stenting.
