    AbstractA saccular aneurysm in the right-sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery is an uncommon disease, and surgical treatment is complicated. Three patients with Edwards type III-B right aortic arch and enlargement of the Kommerell's diverticulum underwent operations. Right thoracotomy was the preferred approach for this lesion and partial cardiopulmonary bypass is a safe and simple procedure when the aortic arch has mild atherosclerosis.
