The Kommerell’s diverticulum is a rare congenital vascular disorder resulting from development of an abnormal aortic arch. This diverticulum is most commonly associated with proximal dilatation of the aberrant subclavian artery. In this manuscript, the authors describe surgical treatment of a patient with Kommerell’s diverticulum.

Keywords:

Kommerell’s diverticulum
frozen elephant trunk
aortic replacement
hybrid stent-graft
