A 57-year-old man suspected of having angina pectoris underwent coronary angiography and comprehensive examination, which revealed a right-side aortic arch accompanying Kommerell diverticulum and a aberrant left subclavian artery. Esophagography indicated that the esophagus was compressed on its right posterior side and the computed tomography (CT) revealed that the posterior side of the tracheal was compressed, however, the patient experienced no difficulty in breathing, hoarseness of voice or dysphasia. The size of the aortic diverticulum was less than 5 cm and the patient showed no symptom, however, if it was left untreated, there was a risk of rupture in the future. Also the esophagus and tracheal may develop complications due to prolonged compression. Therefore, we decided that the case required surgical operation. Total arch replacement was performed through mediastinotomy and right posterolateral in the 4th intercostal. The postoperative condition was good, and the patient was discharged without any complications.
一名疑似患有心绞痛的57岁男性接受了冠状动脉造影和全面检查,结果显示为右侧主动脉弓伴Kommerell憩室及异常左锁骨下动脉。食管造影显示食管右侧后壁受压,计算机断层扫描(CT)显示气管后壁受压,然而,患者没有呼吸困难、声音嘶哑或吞咽困难。主动脉憩室大小小于5 cm,患者无症状,但是,如果不进行治疗,未来有破裂风险。此外,由于长期受压,食管和气管可能会出现并发症。因此,我们认为该病例需要进行手术。通过纵隔切开术和右后外侧第4肋间进行全弓置换。术后情况良好,患者无任何并发症出院。
