    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed with Kommerell's diverticulum in the setting of a right aortic arch on computed tomography. CASE REPORT: Although asymptomatic, the maximum diameter of the aneurysm was 55 mm; thus, she underwent surgery to prevent rupture of the aneurysm. A bypass was constructed from the left common carotid artery to the left subclavian artery. A stent-graft was deployed from the distal right subclavian artery, and coil embolization of the diverticulum was performed via the left subclavian artery. She was discharged after 12 days of surgery. The postoperative four-month follow up showed a smaller aneurysm. CONCLUSION: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair is feasible and effective for Kommerell's diverticulum.
