Abstract

We report the case of a 41-year-old man presenting with a large Kommerell's diverticulum aneurysm in the right-sided aortic arch with retroesophageal component and moderate thoracic aortic dilation. Surgical treatment was performed through left thoracotomy and consisted of aneurysmectomy, closure of the distal aortic arch defect and aorta-left subclavian artery bypass. After 2 years computed tomography showed no modifications in the thoracic aortic morphology and the patency of the graft to the subclavian artery.
