TAMAYO-ESPINOSA, Tania et al. Right-side aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery and Kommerell’s diverticulum. A cause of vascular ring. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2017, vol.87, n.4, pp.345-348. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acmx.2017.03.006.

The right-side aortic arch may be associated with aberrant left subclavian artery, in some cases this artery originates from an aneurismal dilation of the aorta called Kommerell’s diverticulum. A report is presented on 2 cases of vascular ring formed by a right-side aortic arch, anomalous left subclavian artery, Kommerell’s diverticulum and left patent ductus arteriosus. A review the literature was also performed as regards the embryological development and the imaging methods used to help in the diagnosis of this rare vascular anomaly.
