Atrial Septal Erosion: Very Rare Complication of Percutaneous PFO Closure.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPercutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is an established method for secondary prevention of paradoxical embolism in patients with cryptogenic stroke. Residual right-to-left shunts after PFO closure are observed in up to 25% of patients. CASE SUMMARY: We present the clinical case of a 56-year-old man with cryptogenic stroke who underwent transcatheter PFO closure. Six months postprocedure, echocardiographic follow-up revealed a progressive residual right-to-left shunt due to marginal septal erosion. A first attempt at transcatheter closure of the residual defect was unsuccessful. Subsequently, a trans-septal puncture with deployment of an overlapping PFO occluder was performed, resulting in complete closure of the residual shunt. DISCUSSION: This case highlights the importance of systematic echocardiographic surveillance and individualized intervention strategies in managing rare device-related complications after PFO closure. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Device-related atrial septal erosion is a rare but potentially serious complication, requiring careful assessment and appropriate treatment.
