Long-term clinical follow-up of the resorbable magnesium scaffolds in acute coronary syndrome patients.

Background: Research on the resorbable magnesium scaffolds (RMSs) has shown their safety and effectiveness in stable clinical conditions. It seems that this new therapeutic option could be promising for selected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.

Aims: Our analysis aims to analyse the long-term performance of RMSs among ACS patients.

Spontaneous bilateral carotid artery dissection in a patient with bovine aortic arch.

Carotid artery dissections are commonly associated with trauma or various connective tissue disorders. Dissection of the cerebrovascular arteries can result in ischemic stroke and is a frequent stroke etiology in younger patients. Anatomical variants of aortic arch branching, such as the 'bovine' aortic arch, are assumed to have little or no physiological consequence.
