Abstract
- A 57-year-old man with numbness and paresthesia of left arm is presented. There was no pulse in the left arm was absent and his chest radiograph suggested right-sided aortic arch. The aortogram showed right-sided aortic arch with Kommerell's diverticulum. The proximal portion of left subclavian artery was totally occluded and blood was being supplied through vertebral arteries to distal subclavian artery. He underwent bypass grafting between both subclavian arteries by an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft. Because the size of Kommerell's diverticulum was small, it need to be observed closely.
