Preclinical evaluation of a fully threaded biodegradable magnesium alloy headless compression screw for enhanced fixation in small bones

Background Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys have attracted attention as alternatives to conventional metallic implants; however, their clinical applicability to fully threaded headless compression (HC) screws has been scarcely investigated. Methods In this study, a fully threa...

Stump-related embolism from a thrombosed carotid–subclavian bypass causing large vessel occlusion after thoracic endovascular aortic repair

Background: Kommerell diverticulum frequently requires thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with carotid–subclavian bypass (CSB). Although CSB is durable, delayed embolic stroke secondary to graft failure is rare. We report a rare case of large vessel occlusion caused by a...
