A Rare Case of Right Aortic Arch, Evaluation Using CT
This case report discusses a 76-year-old male with a right aortic arch and an aberrant retroesophageal left subclavian artery, identified during a CT scan. The imaging revealed Kommerell's diverticulum without affecting the pulmonary trunk. Classified as type II, this variant emphasizes the role of CT in diagnosing congenital thoracic aortic anomalies, often missed by echocardiography.
