Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) with associated Kommerell diverticulum (KD) is a rare congenital aortic arch anomaly. Patients with KD have a high risk of rupture, dissection, compression of adjacent structures, as well as distal embolization symptoms. Several treatment options have been proposed (surgical, hybrid, endovascular), however, a consensus regarding optimal surgical management has not been established yet. We present a successful single-stage hybrid repair of distal aortic arch dissection aneurysm with dissecting KD and ARSA with debranching of innominate and left common carotid artery, bilateral carotid-subclavian bypass, and stent grafting.

Abstract Background Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) with associated Kommerell diverticulum (KD) is a rare congenital aortic disease. KD patients have a high risk of rupture, dissection, and compression of adjacent structures. Although several treatment options have been proposed (traditional surgery, hybrid operation, and endovascular intervention), a consensus regarding optimal surgical management has not yet been established. Case presentation A case of successful hybrid repair of distal aortic arch dissection aneurysm by dissecting KD and ARSA with debranching of right and left common carotid arteries, left subclavian artery, and stent grafting was presented. Conclusions The hybrid operation is suitable for elderly patients or those with high risks. Along with intervention, the hybrid operation needs to be developed as a minimally invasive method.

The most important abnormality of the aortic arch is arguably the presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria). If this vessel compresses the adjacent structures, several symptoms may be produced. The aim of the study is to present the morphological and clinical aspects of the aberrant right subclavian artery. Three different databases searched for a review of pertinent literature using strictly predetermined criteria. Of 141 cases, 15 were cadaveric and 126 were clinically documented. The gender distribution of the subjects was 55.3% female and 44.7% male. The mean age of the patients at symptoms onset was49.9±19.4years for all patients but54.0±19.6years and44.9±18.1years for female and male subjects, respectively (P=0.0061). The most common symptoms in this group were dysphagia (71.2%), dyspnea (18.7%), retrosternal pain (17.0%), cough (7.6%), and weight loss (5.9%). The vascular anomalies coexisting with an arteria lusoria were truncus bicaroticus (19.2%), Kommerell’s diverticulum (14.9%), aneurysm of the artery itself (12.8%), and a right sided aortic arch (9.2%). In conclusion, compression of adjacent structures by an aberrant right subclavian artery needs to be differentiated from other conditions presenting dysphagia, dyspnea, retrosternal pain, cough, and weight loss.

A 24 year-old Hispanic man presented with progressive retrosternal chest pain, shortness of breath, and dysphagia. Chest X-ray, computed tomography angiography, and magnetic resonance (MRA) studies were compatible with a right aortic arch and a 3.5-cm descending right aortic Kommerell diverticulum. Barium esophagogram and esophagoscopy demonstrated a constricting band crossing the esophagus at the level of the diverticulum. After discussion with other cardiothoracic surgeons, with a combined 300 years of experience, they reported only 1 other possible such case. Kommerell's diverticula are usually repaired in children and rarely are seen in the adult. Kommerell diverticular treatment options include endovascular stenting, cardiopulmonary bypass with resection and grafting, right thoracotomy, and a cervical approach. Because of the patient's findings of a right arch, a Kommerell diverticulum, and a constricting band causing esophageal compression and respiratory distress, it was felt stenting alone would not relieve his symptoms. Therefore, we used a left third posterior intercostal thoracotomy approach to resect the constricting esophageal band connecting the Kommerell diverticulum to the left subclavian artery and to perform the Kommerell diverticulectomy. Releasing the esophageal and tracheal compressing band and resection of the diverticulum provided complete symptom relief with elimination of the dysphagia, dyspnea, wheezing, and chest pain, using a single surgical procedure.
