Tratamiento híbrido de un aneurisma sintomático de un divertículo de Kommerell

Left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery is the most common congenital vascular anomaly involving the aortic arch. In 60% of cases, the aberrant right subclavian artery arises from a dilated segment of the aortic arch called Kommerell's diverticulum. Aneurysm of the aberrant right subclavian artery is rare; this condition could remain clinically silent or it could originate nonspecific symptoms. Rupture of an aneurysm of the aberrant right subclavian artery is associated with high mortality. Although there are no exact criteria to indicate the treatment of this condition, repair of the aneurysm is recommended when symptoms occur or when it reaches a size of 30 mm to 50 mm. The malformation can be suspected at plain-film X-ray examination, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) are the imaging tests of choice for the diagnosis and for planning treatment. We present the case of a patient with an aberrant right subclavian artery with a small calcified aneurysm in a Kommerell's diverticulum that caused chest pain and dysphagia; the patient underwent a procedure combining endovascular and surgical treatment.
