| Popis: |
We report a case of an 80-year-old man complaining of dysphagia followed by aspiration pneumonia. Computed tomography of the chest revealed Kommerell's diverticulum associated with the right-sided aortic arch and the vascular ring which was formed by the aortic arch, the left subclavian artery, the ductus arteriosus, and the pulmonary artery around the esophagus and the trachea. Enlargement of the diverticulum was considered to be the cause of dysphagia. The surgery was performed at 20 ℃ under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. We performed resection of the Kommerell's diverticulum, reconstruction of the left subclavian artery, and transection of the ductus arteriosus to relieve the compression by the esophagus and the trachea. The postoperative course was uneventful and dysphagia disappeared. |
