Aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) aneurysm with a Kommerell’s diverticulum

Aneurisma de artéria subclávia direita aberrante (artéria lusória) com divertículo de Kommerell

Abstract

The treatment options for aberrant right subclavian artery vary depending on the presence of Kommerell’s diverticulum. Because there is a tendency not to report mortalities of these rare cases in the literature, it is hard to reach a conclusion on treatments from the limited data on post-interventional results in these patients. We report our experience with a 67-year old patient with an aberrant right subclavian aneurysm with Kommerell’s diverticulum, diagnosed by chance.
