Abstract

A 70-year-old woman was quickly diagnosed as having tracheo-innominate artery fistula by three-dimensional computed tomography. Immediate surgical exploration was performed to control the bleeding using a temporary shunt. After the damaged artery was excised, vascular reconstruction was performed to preserve the connection between the proximal and distal ends of the innominate artery with the interposition of a saphenous vein graft. A pedicled sternocleidomastoid muscle flap was successfully used for the tracheal reconstruction.
