Kommerell’s diverticulum in the current era: a comprehensive review

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
Kommerell'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.

An Unusual Cause of Dysphagia: Type II Right-Sided Aortic Arch with Kommerell’s Diverticulum [PDF]

Indian Journal of Surgery, 2022
Kommerell's diverticulum is an uncommon aortic arch anomaly. Kommerell's diverticulum cases may be asymptomatic, symptoms of compression on the trachea or esophagus may be seen, and these cases also have a risk of spontaneous aortic rupture.

Management Options for Kommerell's Diverticulum

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2008
An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) arising from a left-sided aortic arch (LAA) is an uncommon aortic arch anomaly. Aneurysms of ARSA arising from different degrees of Kommerell's diverticulum may modify surgical approach. We describe a safe technique for the surgical management of ARSA aneurysm in a 67-year-old gentleman. We performed exclusion

Esophageal Atresia and Diverticulum of Kommerell

Pediatric Cardiology, 2007
Diverticulum 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 ...

Anesthetic Management of the Resection of a Kommerell’s Diverticulum

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2015
CASE REPORTA 66-year-old woman (159 centimeter, 59 kilogram) presented tothe authors’ institution with a history of difficulty swallowing, chestpressure, and heartburn of increasing severity. She was diagnosed witha KD by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which demonstrated anaberrant left SC artery with a right-sided aortic arch. The left commoncarotid

Hybrid Repair of a Kommerell's Diverticulum Aneurysm

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2010
Aneurysms 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, 2015
A 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, 2013
with 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, 2002
Among 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 ...
