Open Thoracic Aortic Repair for Dysphagia in Patients with Kommerell's Diverticulum and Right-Sided Aortic Arch with Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 10/22/09
Reece TB et al. – Kommerell's diverticulum of an aberrant left subclavian artery associated with a right–sided aortic arch is a rare congenital aortic anomaly. This communication reports two cases of this congenital anomaly leading to severe dysphagia. Both cases were successfully repaired with a staged open approach rather than an endovascular approach, which would not have addressed the presenting symptom of dysphagia.
