Successful Emergent Surgical Repair of Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture With Cardiogenic Shock.
Article in JACC. 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
backgroundPost-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare mechanical complication associated with very high mortality, particularly when complicated by cardiogenic shock. CASE SUMMARY: A 58-year-old woman presented with anterior ST-segment elevation MI after failed thrombolysis, rapidly progressing to cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. Coronary angiography revealed proximal left anterior descending artery occlusion and a large mid-septal VSR. Despite refractory shock requiring vasopressors and intra-aortic balloon pump support, emergent surgical repair with bovine pericardial patch closure and concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting was performed. The patient experienced hemodynamic recovery, later requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker for advanced atrioventricular block, and was discharged in stable condition. DISCUSSION: Emergent surgical repair of post-MI VSR may be lifesaving even in extreme clinical scenarios when guided by rapid diagnosis and coordinated multidisciplinary care. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Early recognition and prompt multidisciplinary intervention are critical for survival in catastrophic post-MI VSR.
