要旨: 右側大動脈弓(Right aortic arch: RAA)に左鎖骨下動脈起始異常(Abberant left subclavian artery: ALSA)を合併したKommerell憩室(Kommerell's diverticulum: KD)は,非常に希な先天性大動脈形成異常疾患である。大動脈の解剖学的特殊性から,定型的胸部大動脈瘤外科手術法での到達経路,補助循環法等では,対応困難な場合も多く,症例毎の術式検討が必要となる特殊な病態である。今回,RAA,ALSA,KD症例に対する手術例を経験したので報告する。症例は,40歳,女性。半年前より,感冒症状に付随する呼吸困難を生じていた。胸部造影CT上,RAA,ALSA,KD,およびALSA起始部を中心とした大動脈瘤(最大径50 mm)を認めた。手術は,右開胸法,部分体外循環下に遠位弓部-下行大動脈人工血管置換術,および,左鎖骨下動脈人工血管再建術を施行した。術後の造影CT上,瘤圧排による気管狭窄は良好に解除され,呼吸器症状も改善し,周術期合併症もなく独歩退院された。

Abstract: A 40 year-old female admitted to our hospital presenting respiratory distress syndrome after upper respiratory infection over several months. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed severe tracheal stenosis suggesting of extrinsic compression owing to rapidly-dilated Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) concomitant with aberrant left subculavian artery (ALSA) and right aortic arch (RAA). Because of dilated descending aorta and large saccular aneurysmal formation of KD, elective aneurysmectomy and graft replacement of distal arch to descending aorta were performed via right thoracotomy under normothermic partial extracorporeal circulation to prevent fatal diverticulum rupture. Aneurysmal aorta was replaced using prosthetic tube graft and ALSA was reconstructed with interposition graft using inclusion technique under intraluminal balloon occulusion. Post operative computed tomography showed full recovery of tracheal lumen and her respiratory symptom had markedly relieved. Perioperative complication was not observed. Formerly there were fewer surgical reports of KD with ALSA and RAA showing severe tracheal compression. We experienced a rare case of anatomical repair of widely-involved, non-calcified aortic aneurysm with KD,ALSA and RAA via right thoracotomy and successfully managed surgically.
