We report a case of debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair for Kommerell's diverticulum with right-sided aortic arch in 78-year-old women. The computed tomography (CT) demonstrated Kommerell's diverticulum with a right-sided aortic arch and the trachea and esophagus were compressed by the diverticulum. The diverticulum had a maximum diameter of 32 mm, and surgical intervention was chosen because of the aneurysmal change and the possibility of rupture. We performed endovascular aortic repair for Kommerell's diverticulum with a right-sided aortic arch because of low lung function and low frailty. The patient was discharged on the 21st postoperative day. There was no evidence of aortic event during 2 years follow up.

Ankylosing spondylitis is chronic, progressive, inflammatory disease involving the spine, peripheral joints, and periarticular structures. Cardiac abnormalities associated with ankylosing spondylitis are well recognized, but a case with DDD pacemaker implantation for complete atrioventricular block and aortic valve replacement for aortic regurgitation has not been previously reported. We report a case of a 66-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis who was successfully treated by DDD pacemaker implantation for complete atrioventricular block and aortic valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation.
