Angiographically occult in-stent protrusion detected by intravascular ultrasound during carotid artery stenting: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical 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
backgroundCarotid artery stenting (CAS) is an established revascularization strategy for carotid stenosis, but periprocedural ischemic events remain a concern. In-stent protrusion, representing plaque protrusion and/or adherent thrombus, may be clinically relevant and can be underestimated by angiography alone. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides cross-sectional visualization of the stent lumen and may detect lesions not apparent on digital subtraction angiography. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 92-year-old man of Japanese ethnicity with symptomatic right internal carotid artery tandem stenoses treated with CAS under balloon protection. Completion angiography showed no intraluminal defect; however, IVUS demonstrated marked protrusion within the distal stent. Immediate rescue with an additional overlapping stent under re-occlusion eliminated the protrusion on repeat IVUS. The patient recovered without complications and was discharged home on postoperative day 4.
conclusionsThis case highlights that IVUS may detect angiographically occult in-stent protrusion and may help guide prompt intraprocedural rescue and confirmation of lumen optimization.
