Right-sided aortic arch is a rare anomaly (incidence 0.05%), commonly associated with an aberrant subclavian artery (35% of cases) with a Kommerell diverticulum at the origin. This aberrant artery passes posterior to the esophagus and can cause compression syndrome. We present such a case, treated with a hybrid endovascular repair. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
