Abstract:
A dissecting aortic aneurysm involving a right-sided aortic arch is quite rare. This report describes this unusual entity and emphasizes the requirement for precise anatomical definition by aortography to permit appropriate successful surgical therapy. Bilateral thoracotomy is essential for the surgical approach.
