Kommerell's Diverticulum Resection With Left Brachiocephalic Artery Transfer in an Adult With Tracheoesophageal Compression: Off-Pump Sternotomy With External Skin Cooling. [PDF]
Congenital anomalies of the aortic arch often lead to tracheoesophageal compression during childhood. Occasionally, symptoms may not emerge until adulthood, appearing for the first time at any age due to age‐related or pathological dilation of the aortic segments. The oldest patient described with symptoms at the onset was 76 years old.

Biocellulose patch technique for fetoscopic repair of open spina bifida in twin pregnancy
ABSTRACT Objectives Twin pregnancy is currently an exclusion criterion for prenatal repair of open spina bifida (OSB). The main objective of this study was to report on our experience of treating twin pregnancies with OSB using the skin‐over‐biocellulose for antenatal fetoscopic repair (SAFER) technique.

Short‐term outcome after the prenatal diagnosis of right aortic arch
Abstract Objectives To determine the proportion of children that require surgery in the first year of life and thereafter in order to improve the counseling of parents with a fetus with a right aortic arch (RAA). Methods Fetuses diagnosed with isolated RAA, defined as the absence of intra‐ or extracardiac anomalies, between 2007 and 2021 were extracted

Kommerell diverticulum with right-sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery
The right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery is the most common cause of vascular ring and can be either asymptomatic or symptomatic owing to mass effect. Removal of Kommerell diverticulum and division of the ligamentum arteriosum through a

Right aortic arch with common origin of right carotid and left innominate artery: A case report
Abstract Aortic arch anomalies are rare congenital malformations with an incidence of approximately 1–3%. Right aortic arch is an anatomical variant with an incidence of <0.1% associated with various congenital heart diseases. We present a case of a 26‐year‐old female patient with a right aortic arch with a common origin of right carotid and left ...

Aortosternal Venous Compression: A Review of Two Cases
Aortosternal venous compression (AVC) is a rare venous compression syndrome that involves brachiocephalic venous compression due to its positioning between the sternum and the aorta. One of the features of AVC involves compression of the left innominate vein with variability in luminal caliber on inspiration and expiration.
