Tracheo-innominate artery fistula (TIF) is known as a fatal complication after tracheostomy. We report a 9-year-old girl with early hypoxic encephalopathy who had a tracheo-innominate artery fistula with exsanguinating hemorrhage from her tracheostoma 10 months after tracheostomy. After temporary control of bleeding, embolization of the innominate artery was performed. The patient has remained ...

Anomalous Pulmonary venous connection is drainage of one or more pulmonary veins outside left atrium. Venous Connection most common on Left side upper vein drains directly into innominate to ultimately drain right Right Partial can be Superior Vena Cava, Atrium, Innominate rarely Inferior Cava.

Tracheo-innominate artery fistula (TIF) is a rare but frequently fatal complication after tracheostomy. Without operation, the mortality is nearly 100% because of acute massive tracheal hemorrhage. Although the survival rate is extremely low, survival is possible only when an immediate operation is performed. Many surgeons have chosen ligation or resection of the innominate artery because repai...

Innominate artery injury after blunt trauma is uncommon. We present a case of innominate artery injury, successfully treated with aorto-innominate bypass.

We present the case of a 68 year old Caucasian woman, in extremis, with left hemiparesis and right hemothorax, in hypovolemic shock, secondary to a blow-out of a large penetrating ulcer at the junction of innominate trunk and aortic arch. She underwent interposition graft replacement of innominate trunk and repair of aortic arch, on cardiopulmonary bypass, employing total circulatory arrest and...

Introduction Left innominate stricture or stenosis after hemocatheter insertion or pacemaker lead insertion is not an uncommon vascular complication. However, spontaneous left innominate venous stricture has not been reported. We present a case with spontaneous left innominate vein stenosis in a patient with history of open heart surgery during pacemaker implantation. Retrograde channel from th...

OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the genetic factors contributing to atherosclerotic plaque size and cellular composition in the innominate artery, a murine model of advanced atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined genetic contributions to innominate atherosclerotic plaque size and cellular composition in an intercross between C57BL/6J.Apoe(-/-), a strain susceptible to aortic lesion...

Innominate artery injury is a rare, but catastrophic complication of tracheostomy. We present a case of severe hemorrhagic shock in a 79-year-old male with innominate artery injury that occurred during tracheostomy. Despite temporary innominate artery isolation, the regional forehead saturation was 60 % without laterality. Because adequate cerebral blood flow was apparently maintained through c...

Case description This is a case of acute aortic dissection with multiple tears, occluding innominate artery and causing brain and right hand malperfusion. Patient underwent successful emergent surgery in deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with antegrade cerebral protection for complete replacement of innominate artery and hemiarch. Complete innominate artery was replaced during cooling period ...

Like subclavian artery disease, innominate artery disease can result in reversal of flow in the ipsilateral vertebral artery. Unlike subclavian artery disease, innominate artery disease can also affect cerebral perfusion in the ipsilateral carotid territory, is less well characterized in the literature, and is more challenging to revascularize. Herein, we present two cases of ‘innominate steal’...
