Abstract

The treatment of Kommerell's diverticulum continues to evolve given advances in aortic surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass management, and endovascular techniques. This case report details the repair of a diverticulum of Kommerell in a Jehovah's witness with a right-sided aortic arch and reviews the surgical literature. (J Card Surg 2010;25:333-335)
