Two patients with neurofibromatosis presented with expanding masses at the left supraclavicular region. Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed vascular masses. The patients underwent surgery and ruptures of the left subclavian artery were found. Both patients were treated by ligation of subclavian artery.

Two cases of aberrant subclavian arteries were detected incidentally during computed tomography scan of the thorax for other medical conditions. The patients did not have weight loss or dysphagia lusoria. The origin and course of theaberrant subclavian arteries are related to the anomaly of the aortic arch. The variations of aberrant right subclavian artery with left aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery with right aortic arch on computed tomography are discussed.Journal of Kathmandu Medical CollegeVol. 3, No. 4, Oct.-Dec., 2014Page: 162-164

Background: A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed with Kommerell’s diverticulum in the setting of a right aortic arch on computed tomography. Case report: Although asymptomatic, the maximum diameter of the aneurysm was 55 mm; thus, she underwent surgery to prevent rupture of the aneurysm. A bypass was constructed from the left common carotid artery to the left subclavian artery. A stent-graft was deployed from the distal right subclavian artery, and coil embolization of the diverticulum was performed via the left subclavian artery. She was discharged after 12 days of surgery. The postoperative four-month follow up showed a smaller aneurysm. Conclusion: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair is feasible and effective for Kommerell’s diverticulum.
