Minimally Invasive Treatment of Kommerell's Diverticulum and Left Aberrant Subclavian Artery

Razan Salem et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2022 Nov.

Abstract

Kommerell's diverticulum is an aneurysmatic offspring of the left aberrant subclavian artery, which is a rare vascular anomaly of the aortic arch. Here, we present our less invasive approach to the repair of a symptomatic Kommerell's diverticulum in a 31-year-old patient, without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
