Hybrid treatment of Kommerell diverticulum and giant aneurysm of intra-thoracic segment of aberrant left subclavian artery

Abstract

Kommerell's diverticulum causes compression of the esophagus, trachea and laryngeal nerve between the aberrant mouth of the left subclavian artery and ascending aorta. This leads to dysphagia or shortness of breath. We describe hybrid treatment of the right aortic arch with Kommerell's diverticulum and giant aneurysm of the aberrant left subclavian artery.
