Abstract

A 32-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a 3-year history of exertion dyspnea. An anomalous vascular ring created by a right aortic arch with mirror-image branching, left descending aorta, and aortic diverticulum narrowed the trachea circumferentially. This feature was surgically approached through a right posterolateral thoracotomy, and simple amputation of the aortic diverticulum resulted in immediate symptomatic relief.
