Case Report: Endovascular treatment of spontaneous iliac vein rupture complicated with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.

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
Background: Spontaneous iliac vein rupture (SIVR) is an extremely rare life-threatening vascular emergency with a 22% reported mortality. It predominantly affects middle-aged women, mostly involves the left iliac vein, and is frequently complicated by lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Its nonspecific manifestations often lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. This report presents a SIVR case with DVT and reviews relevant literature to inform clinical practice. Case presentation: The patient was a 60-year-old female admitted for sudden onset of lower abdominal pain and left lower extremity swelling after squatting, with stable hemodynamics. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed pelvic hematoma, lower extremity ultrasound confirmed extensive left lower extremity DVT, and left external iliac vein rupture was diagnosed by venography. The patient underwent covered stent implantation combined with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) and postoperative catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT). The rupture was successfully occluded, and the thrombus was completely removed. During the 1-year follow-up, the stent maintained favorable morphology and luminal patency, with no occurrence of post-thrombotic syndrome. Conclusion: SIVR predominantly occurs in middle-aged and elderly women, almost always involves the left iliac vein, and is frequently complicated with DVT. Venous compression associated with May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a critical predisposing factor. Venography is the key to definitive diagnosis. Endovascular treatment has shown favorable efficacy and safety in hemodynamically stable patients, and individualized anticoagulation strategies help improve long-term prognosis.
