Abstract
Introduction
We report a case of Kommerell's diverticulum of an aberrant right subclavian artery in a patient with a left-sided aortic arch.
Report
The 80-year-old patient presented with dysphagia and dyspnea. The computed tomography scan showed that the trachea and the esophagus were compressed by the aberrant artery. This situation was corrected by surgical treatment without cardiopulmonary bypass or hypothermic circulatory arrest. The aneurysm was excluded by means of a temporary shunt between the ascending aorta and the descending aorta.
Discussion
An endovascular procedure was not considered to be appropriate to release the esophagus and trachea from arterial compression.
