A Novel Dual Latex Balloon Catheter for Temporarily Closing Acute Postinfarction Ventricle Septum Defect (VSD) in a Pig Model.

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
Acute postinfarction ventricular septum defect has a persistently high mortality rate due to unstable scars in the acute phase, which make surgery or occluder use unsuitable. Delayed closure increases the risk of irreversible hemodynamic deterioration. To address this, a dual latex balloon catheter was designed for temporary closure and tested in a pig model. The catheter, with a 10 French profile and 80 cm in length, includes two independent latex balloons and an anticoagulant channel to prevent thrombus formation. It was inserted via the jugular vein and guided over a 0.014-inch wire to straddle and seal the ventricular septum defect. In eight Yorkshire pigs with ventricular septum defects and acute myocardial infarction, the catheter effectively closed defects ranging from 6.1 to 10.5 mm for two weeks without complications. This innovative tool shows promise as a bridge therapy for managing acute postinfarction ventricular septum defect and warrants further evaluation.
