FIGURE 27. Measurements of Kommerell’s Diverticulum.

FIGURE 27

Two diameter measurements should be obtained using cross-sectional imaging: the diverticulum orifice (radially and longitudinally at the aortic wall) and the combined diameter of the diverticulum and adjacent descending thoracic aorta (measured from the apex of the diverticulum to the opposite aortic wall). ARSA indicates aberrant right subclavian artery; LCA, left common carotid artery; LSA, left subclavian artery; and RCA, right common carotid artery.
