Despite being considered a normal variation of the aortic arch branching, still it has been linked with various issues regarding the thoracic aorta. The aim of this study is to highlight the prevalence of bovine artery among specific vascular pathologies throughout the literature and to provide information to clinicians about the importance of identifying this variation. For this specific review, we acquired potentially relevant studies for inclusion from the electronic database of PubMed. We limited our investigation to papers published within the last decade (from 2011 to 2021). Single case reports, papers with language restrictions, letters to the editor, conference abstracts, studies that were non-human centered and studies with unextractable and incomplete data were not included. Searching the PubMed database, it was evident that there is a close relationship between bovine arch and thoracic aortic arch pathology. In the defined period 2011\u20132021 that our research was focused, we selected eight studies tackling this issue. The majority of the studies in this review (except one) provided concerning data about the prevalence of this aortic arch variant among patients with aortic aneurysmal dilatation and aortic dissection. Following our results, we strongly believe that bovine arch should no longer being considered as a normal variation with no clinical significance, but rather as a potential risk factor for thoracic aortic arch morbidities.\n<\/p>","DOI":"10.1615\/jlongtermeffmedimplants.2022043790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,4]],"date-time":"2022-11-04T20:16:53Z","timestamp":1667593013000},"page":"71-76","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Correlation
