Single-stage surgical repair of undiagnosed adult aortic coarctation with concomitant aortic root pathology and coronary artery disease: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery 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
Introduction and importance: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is usually diagnosed in childhood, although delayed adult presentation may mimic acquired cardiovascular disease and result in advanced secondary cardiac complications. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and surgical management of this uncommon presentation. Case presentation: A 42-year-old man presented with progressive heart failure and recurrent chest pain. Evaluation revealed previously undiagnosed severe CoA associated with a 5.5-cm ascending aortic aneurysm, severe aortic regurgitation, and significant left anterior descending artery in-stent restenosis. The patient underwent successful single-stage repair comprising extra-anatomic bypass, aortic root replacement, and coronary artery bypass grafting, with an uncomplicated postoperative course and marked clinical improvement. Clinical discussion: Adult CoA may remain undiagnosed until secondary cardiovascular complications dominate the clinical presentation. In selected patients requiring concomitant cardiac surgery, a single-stage strategy can provide definitive anatomical and physiological correction while avoiding staged interventions. Conclusion: This case highlights the significance of considering adult CoA in patients with unexplained complicated cardiovascular disease. Early recognition and appropriate patient selection allow effective single-stage surgical intervention in meticulously selected instances.
