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.
气管无名动脉瘘(TIF)是气管切开术罕见但危及生命的并发症,由于大量出血导致气道难以保障,构成医疗紧急情况。因此,大多数成功的外科治疗包括无名动脉清创和气管瘘修复。在此,我们报告一例通过人工血管移植物维持脑血流成功手术治疗气管无名动脉瘘的病例。
