Heart Transplantation in Nonoperable Multiple Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysms: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in cardiology, 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
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is an uncommon dilation of a coronary artery, with a prevalence of 0.3%-4.9% in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Giant CAAs, defined as dilations greater than four times the size of normal adjacent vessels or a diameter > 8 mm, are even rarer. We report a case of a 62-year-old man with chronic ischemic heart disease presenting with multiple giant CAAs. The patient had a history of myocardial infarction, obesity, dyslipidemia, and was an ex-smoker. Coronary angiography and cCTA revealed giant aneurysms in the right coronary and circumflex arteries, with extensive endoluminal thrombosis and compression of adjacent structures. The coronary anatomy was deemed unsuitable for surgical or percutaneous intervention; thus, the patient was listed and underwent orthotopic heart transplantation, without significant postoperative complications. This case highlights the complexity of giant CAAs management in adults, where conventional interventions are not feasible. The successful heart transplantation and favorable postoperative outcomes underscore the potential viability of this treatment. This case contributes to the limited literature on heart transplantation as a therapeutic option for nonoperable CAAs.
