First MDCT evidence of ruptured aberrant left subclavian artery aneurysm in right aortic arch, Kommerell’s diverticulum and extrapleural hematoma treated by emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair

Spontaneous ruptured aneurysm involving an aberrant subclavian artery with a right-sided aortic arch and Kommerell’s diverticulumis a rare life-threatening condition that can be treated successfully if promptly identified. Multidetector Computed Tomography angiography is the first line imaging modal...

We report the case of a 74-year-old man suffering from this emergency ondition with mediastinal hematoma mostly extending to the left-side extrapleural cavity.
