Description
Zhengyang Sun and five co-authors present, in a 2025 case report, a repair from inside the blood vessels for a rare aorta defect. The defect, a Kommerell diverticulum, is a bulge left from development where an artery branches oddly. It can sit with a right-sided aortic arch, as in this patient, and its risks are poorly charted because cases are rare.
Their patient was a seventy-three-year-old woman with two months of breathlessness. Scans showed a right arch, a right-sided descending aorta, the bulge, and a vein squeezed by the shifted vessels. The team placed a stent graft through a catheter to seal the bulge. She recovered well after the procedure. The case adds to the small record on treating this defect without open surgery.
