Abstract
- A 53-year-old woman had right aortic arch, Kommerell's diverticulum and aberrant left subclavian artery (LSA) without any compressive symptoms. Hybrid operation was performed. This consisted of LSA bypass using a 6 mm ringed Gore-Tex graft between the left common carotid artery and aberrant LSA via a left supraclavicular incision, and stent graft insertion into the aortic arch via the right femoral artery. Postoperative computed tomography as well as intraoperative angiography demonstrated successful occlusion of Kommerell's diverticulum and bypass of the aberrant LSA. There were no complications related to the operation or the intervention.
