Moyamoya disease is a rare, idiopathic, progressive, occlusive disease of the
internal carotid artery characterized by the development of collateral
vasculature in the brain base. In patients with accompanying coronary artery
disease, cardiopulmonary bypass posses a potential risk for perioperative
cerebral ischemic complication. Herein, we report a 53-year-old male case of
Moyamoya disease and coronary artery disease who was treated with off-pump
coronary artery bypass grafting.
The treatment options for aberrant right subclavian artery vary depending on the presence of Kommerell’s diverticulum. Because there is a tendency not to report mortalities of these rare cases in the literature, it is hard to reach a conclusion on treatments from the limited data on post-interventional results in these patients. We report our experience with a 67-year old patient with an aberrant right subclavian aneurysm with Kommerell’s diverticulum, diagnosed by chance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
