Hi,

I am still in the middle of being diagnosed. but wanted to inquire about what happened. I have a right sided aortic arch coursing to the right of the trachea with a dilated kommerell which appears to be compressing on the esophagus superiorly. There is likely and aberrant left subclavian artery as well.

Where did you receive treatment, who were your doctors?

Thanks.

I was referred to Mayo Rochester by my cardiologist in Florida. I saw Dr. Bowers for vascular surgery and Dr. Pochettino for cardiac. My aberrant right subclavian was really unremarkable though- no enlargement or ring or really any issues. I was found to have a kink in my aortic arch that caused an aortic aneurysm and left subclavian aneurysm and to repair the aorta they had to relocate the aberrant right subclavian. Your case sounds more complicated with an actual Kommerals and other issues. I was very happy with Mayo and its doctors and would highly recommend.
