  • Title: Coarctation of the aorta in the right aortic arch with left aberrant innominate artery.
    Author: Bein S, Saba Z, Patel H, Reinhartz O, Hanley FL.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 2006; 27(5):621-3. PubMed ID: 16933062.
    Abstract:
    Right aortic arch with an aberrant left innominate artery is a rare combination. We report a unique case of coarctation of the aorta in a patient with right aortic arch and aberrant left innominate artery. The diverticulum of Kommerell gave rise to the left innominate artery and a left ligamentum arteriosum, completing a vascular ring. This unusual case raises interesting points regarding the development of coarctation in the context of a right-sided arch and the approach to management of these patients.
