Key result
Staged hybrid approach manages symptomatic non-A non-B dissection involving Kommerell's diverticulum in right-sided aortic arch.
Why the study?
Management of Kommerell's diverticulum with right-sided aortic arch is challenging due to anatomical complexity and surgical risk of open repair.
Case Report (n=1)
A staged hybrid approach can be utilized for the complex management of symptomatic non-A non-B dissection involving a Kommerell's diverticulum.
Supports feasibility of hybrid strategies in rare aortic arch pathologies; leaves open need for prospective validation before wider adoption.
Kommerell's diverticulum associated with a right-sided aortic arch1 is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that may become symptomatic because of aneurysmal degeneration, dissection, or compression of adjacent structures. Management remains challenging because of the anatomical complexity and the surgical risk associated with open repair. In this case, a multidisciplinary team adopted a staged hybrid approach.

Cuozzo et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Symptomatic non-A non-B dissection involving a Kommerell's diverticulum in a right-sided aortic arch (n=1). Staged hybrid approach was evaluated. A multidisciplinary team adopted a staged hybrid approach to manage a symptomatic non-A non-B dissection involving a Kommerell's diverticulum in a right-sided aortic arch.
