The factors that explain the diverse arrangement of the major arteries of tetrapods are not known. Here, I aim to illuminate some of the underpinnings of these patterns. I review the variation in the sauropsid left, right, and dorsal aortae regarding the origin of the gastrointestinal blood vessels and the relative diameters of left and right aortae where they join together to form the dorsal aorta.

Background: Multiple wavelets and rotors are accused of maintaining atrial fibrillation (AF). However, snake-like excitation patterns have recently been observed in AF. So far, computer models have investigated AF in a simplified anatomical model.

We describe the case of an elderly man who was admitted to our hospital with the diagnosis of an acute anterior myocardial infarction, together with an acute bioccipital ischaemic stroke. Coronary angiography revealed embolization of the distal left anterior descendens and the first septal branch. The definite diagnosis of paradoxical embolism was made by means of a transoesophageal echocardiography which demonstrated a large snake-like floating thrombus crossing a patent foramen ovale.
