ABSTRACT

Kommerell’s diverticulum is an uncommon finding consisting of an anatomical alteration in the presence of an aberrant subclavian artery; even rarer is its association with an acute coronary syndrome, since no reports are found in the literature. In our case, we present the finding of a diverticulum in an aberrant right subclavian artery in a patient with occlusion of the anterior descending coronary artery.
