A 53-year-old woman was diagnosed with a Crawford II thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm involving the right-sided descending aorta. The patient underwent aortic replacement via a thoracoabdominal approach. The right-sided descending thoracic aortic aneurysm was excluded. The patient had a favorable postoperative course. The excluded thoracic aneurysm had completely thrombosed without intercostal inflow. The right-sided descending aorta is a rare malformation. The exclusion technique was appropriate because there was no retrograde flow from the intercostal arteries and the Adamkiewicz artery originated from the lumbar region.
