Complex Endovascular Management of a Giant Ruptured Aortic Arch and Descending Aneurysm Following Prior Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: A Case Report.

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 This case report presents a groundbreaking approach to treating a giant ruptured aortic arch aneurysm in a patient who previously underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). CASE REPORT A 66-year-old man was admitted for surgical intervention due to a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm. He presented with shock, hypotension, hemorrhage into the left pleura, and chest and abdominal pain. He had a history of EVAR 10 years prior. An urgent computed tomography angiography revealed a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm, 12 cm in diameter, with a descending thoracic aorta segment with features of rupture to the pleura, displacing the trachea, and compressing the left main bronchus. The diameter of the ascending aorta was within normal limits and the abdominal aorta was slightly dilated, with the right stent-graft leg ending in a right common iliac artery aneurysm. As a result, the patient was deemed ineligible for cardiac surgery and qualified for an endovascular procedure, which involved a triple-branched total endovascular arch repair, showcasing significant technical innovation. A right-sided iliofemoral graft was performed with a vascular prosthesis. Completion angiography demonstrated patent branches and successful exclusion of the aneurysm. Despite intensive care following the operation, growing multiorgan failure associated with the patient's multiple concomitant diseases contributed to his eventual death. CONCLUSIONS The case highlights the feasibility and effectiveness of this advanced technique in managing complex aortic pathologies, even in patients with prior interventions. The importance of this method as a viable option for complicated cases is emphasized, offering insights into potential improvements in patient outcomes.
