Endovascular repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysm and severe stenosis in Type V Takayasu arteritis: a rare case report and clinical insights.

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
backgroundTakayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare, chronic vasculitis affecting the aorta and its major branches, leading to stenosis, aneurysm, and ischemic complications. It primarily affects young adults and may progress to critical ischemia, necessitating revascularization strategies. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is increasingly recognized as an effective, minimally invasive intervention for managing TA-associated complications. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 28-year-old male presented with a three-month history of progressive bilateral lower limb discomfort and tingling exacerbated by activity, intermittent abdominal cramps, and fatigue. Physical examination revealed a significant blood pressure discrepancy between the upper limbs (right: 193/66 mmHg, left: 100/71 mmHg), reduced lower limb pressures (right ankle: 66/41 mmHg, left ankle: 72/42 mmHg), pulse deficits, and diminished ankle-brachial indices (right: 0.34; left: 0.37). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) demonstrated all-chamber dilatation, reduced systolic function (EF: 38%), severe mitral regurgitation, moderate aortic regurgitation, and a large right atrial thrombus (3.0 × 1.9 cm). Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed critical mid-aortic stenosis (6.9 × 11.9 mm), a post-stenotic saccular aneurysm (20.6 × 22.4 mm), and severe narrowing of the left subclavian and axillary arteries. The patient underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), with a thoracic stent graft (24 × 80 mm) successfully deployed. Six months post-procedure, the patient experienced complete resolution of symptoms, with improved ABI values (right: 0.94; left: 0.73) and significant regression of the aneurysm (13.1 × 13.1 mm).
conclusionEVAR may represent a feasible option for carefully selected TA patients with focal lesions and high surgical risk, although open repair remains necessary for more complex disease. Lifelong surveillance and further research are essential to optimize management strategies in this rare condition.
