Right-sided aortic arches are rare, affecting approximately 0.1% of the population. They are a result of abnormal development of the primitive aortic arches and may present later in life with later life with aneurysmal expansion of the aberrant left subclavian artery 'Kommerell's diverticulum'. These can be challenging to treat effectively. We report a rare case presenting with mild dysphagia and right-sided aneurysmal aortic arch with aneurysmal aberrant left-sided. The patient underwent hybrid endovascular repair incorporating bilateral carotid-subclavian bypasses and dual-arch-branch endograft placement to the left and right common carotid arteries. Although endovascular approaches have been described, there are no reports of branched endografts in this scenario. Right-sided aneurysmal aortic arch and the aneurysmal aberrant left subclavian artery are rare and represent a significant therapeutic challenge. Endovascular repair in conjunction with extra-anatomical bypass utilising a custom-made branched thoracic endograft is feasible.
右侧主动脉弓罕见,约占人口的0.1%。它们是原始主动脉弓异常发育的结果,可能在生命后期出现异常左锁骨下动脉“Kommerell憩室”的动脉瘤样扩张。这些病变有效治疗具有挑战性。我们报告一例罕见病例,表现为轻度吞咽困难和右侧动脉瘤样主动脉弓伴左侧动脉瘤样异常。患者接受了包括双侧颈动脉-锁骨下动脉搭桥术和向左右颈总动脉置入双弓分支血管内移植物的杂交血管内修复术。尽管已有血管内治疗方法的描述,但在这种情况下尚无分支血管内移植物的报道。右侧动脉瘤样主动脉弓和动脉瘤样异常左锁骨下动脉罕见,代表了重大的治疗挑战。结合使用定制的分支胸主动脉内移植物进行解剖外搭桥的血管内修复是可行的。
