Long term results of elective aortic ascendens wrapping technique - single center study.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
backgroundThe wrapping technique for the ascending aorta was developed for the treatment of high-risk patients. It is currently used to treat acute pathologies of the ascending aorta in patients with comorbidities or in high-risk situations. This study presents our long-term results with a standardized wrapping method.
methodsThis retrospective single-center study analyzed data on various aortic diseases from January 2008 to December 2018. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of the wrapping procedure, with a focus on aortic size as the primary endpoint. Mortality and cerebrovascular events are the secondary endpoints.
resultsThe wrapping procedure was performed in 38 patients (16 female and 22 male patients, mean EuroScore II 4.9, range 2.0–18.7). The intended size of the ascending aorta was achieved through the use of Prolene mesh. The postoperative median diameter was 38 mm (preoperative median 5.50, range 4.3–7.1). During the follow-up period of 52.0 months (range 2.3–183.8), no recurrence of dilatation or need for reoperation was observed. Perioperative mortality and 1-year mortality were 0%.
conclusionsThe technique of covering the ascending aorta with a polypropylene mesh can be performed safely without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. The technique allows for a predictable and stable diameter of the aortic wall without reintervention and with a longer follow-up period.
