Abstract

A 57-year-old man suspected of having angina pectoris underwent coronary angiography and comprehensive examination, which revealed a right-side aortic arch accompanying Kommerell diverticulum and a aberrant left subclavian artery. Esophagography indicated that the esophagus was compressed on its right posterior side and the computed tomography (CT) revealed that the posterior side of the tracheal was compressed, however, the patient experienced no difficulty in breathing, hoarseness of voice or dysphasia. The size of the aortic diverticulum was less than 5 cm and the patient showed no symptom, however, if it was left untreated, there was a risk of rupture in the future. Also the esophagus and tracheal may develop complications due to prolonged compression. Therefore, we decided that the case required surgical operation. Total arch replacement was performed through mediastinotomy and right posterolateral in the 4th intercostal. The postoperative condition was good, and the patient was discharged without any complications.
