Abstract

Kommerell's diverticulum, which is a rare condition, is a congenital abnormality of the aortic arch. The strategy of surgical treatment for Kommerell's diverticulum has not been established. Between 1994 and 2004, 6 patients underwent surgery for Kommerell's diverticulum at our institute. Diagnoses included right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery in 4 patients and left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery in 2 patients. Indications for surgery were dilatation of Kommerell's aneurysm (n = 4) and dysphagia (n = 2). One patient underwent total arch replacement through the median sternotomy plus right thoracotomy. Five patients underwent replacement of the descending aorta and reconstruction in situ (n = 4) or ligation (n = 1) of the stenotic aberrant subclavian artery through the right (n = 3) or left (n = 2) thoracotomy. There were no patient deaths or patients who required rehospitalization. Mediastinitis occurred in 1 patient. This patient required mediastinal drainage and an omentopexy. Two patients who had dysphagia became asymptomatic. Postoperative angiographies in all patients were satisfactory. The patient whose aberrant subclavian artery was ligated had no ischemic symptom of the arm. At the m...Continue Reading
