| Abstract | A 68-year-old man was admitted with sudden onset of headache chest and neck pain, Q waves in the V1-V6 leads on his electrocardiogram, and elevated troponin levels. He previously had hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and bilateral cardiovascular events. The primary diagnosis was subendocardial infarction, and he was treated with systemic thrombolysis. A coronary angiogram showed three-vessel disease with 75% stenosis. Carotid duplex imaging showed >80% stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) bilaterally, a normal right vertebral artery (VA), and high resistance flow in the left VA. A three-dimensional contrast-enhanced computed tomography aortogram showed right-sided aortic arch (AA) (A and B), anomalous retroesophageal left subclavian artery (SA) (C), a diverticulumof Kommerell (DOK) at its origin (Cover) and a hypoplastic left VA (D) arising from left common carotid artery (CCA). He underwent right carotid endarterectomy and triple coronary artery bypass grafting a month later. Patient consent was obtained. |
