Tailored Endovascular Therapy for Deformed VIABAHN VBX Balloon-Expandable Stent Graft by External Force in Aortoiliac Disease.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. 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
backgroundThe VIABAHN VBX balloon-expandable stent graft (VSG) is recommended for aortoiliac disease. VSG deformation is rare, and no appropriate therapeutic strategy for deformed VSG has been developed. CASE SUMMARY: We report 2 cases in which VSGs deployed using the kissing stent technique in aortoiliac lesions were deformed by external forces owing to acupressure or bent back. In patient 1, balloon angioplasty was sufficient to maintain patency because the external force caused by acupressure was avoided by prohibiting it. In patient 2, as the external force caused by the bent back was unavoidable, the VSG deformations were repeated by balloon angioplasty. Bilateral self-expandable stent implantation successfully improved and prevented the VSG deformation. DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report of long-term patency after managing VSG deformation with appropriate device choices. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Tailored endovascular therapy achieved 4-year patency, highlighting the importance of managing external forces causing VSG deformation in aortoiliac disease.
