ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the effect of endovascular treatment of cerebral infarction with right aortic arch and Kommerell's diverticulum.@*Methods@#Retrospective analysis was done to assess the treatment effect of a case from vascular surgery, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University. This case was diagnosed as cerebral infarction with right aortic arch and Kommerell's diverticulum.@*Results@#One month after the treatment of cerebral infarction, we successfully used the thoracic aortic stent to isolate the Kommerell's diverticulum. There were no operative complications occurred. The stent had good shape and smooth blood flow was seen in the stent.@*Conclusions@#Endovascular treatment to cerebral infarction with right aortic arch and Kommerell's diverticulum is safe and feasible, and the clinical outcome requires further long-term follow-up.
