We report a rare case of congenital saccular aneurysm of the right cervical aortic arch in a 16-year-old girl. There were no branches arising from the aortic arch but 3 branches arose from the ascending aorta: the left innominate artery, the right common carotid artery, and the right subclavian artery. The aneurysm was successfully repaired with a plasma-preclotted woven Dacron interposition graft during profound hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass without total circulatory arrest.
