Endovascular therapy for iatrogenic occlusion of the popliteal artery after complex total knee arthroplasty: 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
Iatrogenic arterial injury is an infrequent but limb-threatening complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Open surgical reconstruction may not always be feasible or optimal, particularly in patients who have recently just undergone complex TKA procedures. In this report, we describe the treatment of a patient who developed popliteal artery occlusion following a complex TKA procedure performed the previous day. Although endovascular advancement allows comprehensive endovascular treatment of acute limb ischemia, their application in the context of iatrogenic arterial injury after TKA is limited, with only a few cases documented. This case is notable due to the presence of both penetrating trauma to the popliteal artery and subsequent thrombosis of the artery. These complications were successfully managed entirely through endovascular therapy, employing AngioJet rheolytic thrombolysis and the implantation of a covered stent. This case adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of endovascular techniques for managing this rare and complex complication of TKA.
