ABSTRACT
A 57-year-old man was incidentally found to have a dissected diverticulum of Kommerell originating from aberrant origin of right subclavian artery during follow-up for treated colon cancer. A right carotid-axillary bypass was followed by embolization of aberrant artery and the diverticulum by deployment of multiple detachable coils using the Penumbra Ruby System (Penumbra, Alameda, CA). Angiography after embolization showed exclusion of flow to the aberrant artery and a patent right carotid-axillary bypass. The patient recovered uneventfully and remained well for 12 weeks after the operation, without any complications. We believe this targeted endovascular approach can avoid complications related to the coverage of thoracic aorta and reduce the risk of access vessel trauma.
