Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tracheo-innominate artery fistula (TIF) is a rare, life-threatening complication of tracheostomy that makes it difficult to secure the airway due to massive bleeding, constituting a medical emergency. Therefore, most successful surgical treatments include innominate artery debridement and tracheal fistula repair. Herein, we report a case of successful surgical treatment of a TIF while maintaining cerebral blood flow through an artificial vascular graft.
