Esophageal Atresia and Diverticulum of Kommerell
Pediatric Cardiology, 2007Diverticulum of Kommerell is an outpouching from the descending aorta that, along with an aberrant subclavian artery and ductus arteriosus, may form a vascular ring compressing the trachea and/or the esophagus. It has been reported as an incidental finding as well as the cause of persistent dysphagia, cough, "asthma," or airway compromise at various ...

Hybrid Repair of a Kommerell's Diverticulum Aneurysm
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2010Aneurysms of the right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery are rare. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman with a Kommerell's diverticulum aneurysm, who underwent a successful hybrid repair, combining surgical off-pump bypass of the aortic arch vessels followed by endovascular aneurysm repair.

Endovascular Repair of a Kommerell Diverticulum Anomaly
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2015A Kommerell diverticulum (KD) may predispose toward aortic aneurysm, dissection, or rupture, although they are primarily asymptomatic. We report a case of an aberrant left subclavian artery arising from a KD in a right-side aortic arch. The lesions were successfully treated by an endovascular approach involving Amplatzer vascular plug embolization of ...

Double aortic arch and Kommerell’s diverticulum
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2013with the provided high quality images, describ-ing the case of a 39-year-old man who was, as stated bythe authors, ‘‘referred with a diagnosis of double aorticarch’’ (DAA). The title of the report: ‘‘Right-sidedaortic arch with Kommerell’s diverticulum causing tra-cheal stenosis’’ is, in our opinion, somewhat misleadingbecause the report and the ...

Two Cases of ‘Asthma’ Revealing a Diverticulum of Kommerell
Respiration, 2002Among embryonic aortic vascular malformations, persistence of a right aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery associated with a diverticulum of Kommerell is rare, and is estimated to occur in 0.1% of the general population. We report two cases of diverticulum of Kommerell in which tracheal compression due to the vascular ring induced ...

Kommerell’s diverticulum in the current era: a comprehensive review
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015Kommerell's diverticulum is a developmental error with a remnant of fourth dorsal aortic arch, named after Dr. Kommerell, a radiologist, who made the first diagnosis in a living individual. The diverticulum can occur in both the left and right aortic arch, from which an aberrant subclavian artery rises to the contralateral side.

Kommerell's Diverticulum, Risk Factor for Aortic Dissection
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2009A 54-year-old man presented with sharp chest pain and hypertension. He was treated with intravenous antihypertensive with good control of the blood pressure. Chest X-ray showed widened mediastinum, and subsequent computed tomography scan of the chest demonstrated dissection of the descending thoracic aorta.
