Abstract
Tracheo-innominate artery fistula (TIF) is one of the highly lethal complications after the tracheostomy.We report a case of successful surgical treatment of TIF 4-year after the tracheostomy due tosubacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Once the bleeding was controlled by the position and the high pressureof the tracheostomy tube cuff, but was not able to be controlled 24-hour after the hospitalization.At surgery, innominate artery was clamped simply at its origin under a median sternotomy. The eachside orifice of the fistula was closed directly. The thymus was interposed between the innominateartery and the trachea to prevent the infection and the re-adhesion. After surgery, the cerebral infarctiondue to the procedure was not detected by the brain computed tomography (CT) and also the stenosisof the innominate artery was not detected by the chest enhanced CT.
