Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation and Aneurysmectomy for a Giant Left Ventricular Aneurysm.
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
backgroundImplanting a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) for end-stage heart failure with a giant left ventricular aneurysm is challenging, primarily owing to risks of unstable anchoring and inflow malalignment. CASE SUMMARY: A 68-year-old woman with a giant left ventricular aneurysm underwent bridge-to-transplant LVAD implantation, revascularization, and partial aneurysmectomy. A modified turtleneck technique secured the device. However, profound reverse remodeling caused delayed downward pump migration at 9 months, resulting in cerebral infarction. DISCUSSION: While the turtleneck technique provides reliable initial anchoring, dynamic postoperative geometric shifts pose ongoing risks. This case underscores the necessity of vigilant serial imaging to detect and manage late pump displacement. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: The modified turtleneck technique facilitates stable LVAD implantation in end-stage heart failure patients with giant left ventricular aneurysms. However, profound reverse remodeling postoperatively necessitates serial imaging surveillance to detect and manage delayed pump migration.
