چکیده
|
Madam, a tracheo-innominate fistula is an infrequent yet life threatening complication which can approach rates of 0.1-1% after a tracheostomy. the incidence peaks1-2 weeks after the procedure. despite immediate surgical intervention, the prognosis remains poor with mortality rates approaching 70% to 90%.2we encountered an early tracheo-innominate fistula which became evident within 72 hours of a tracheostomy; much sooner than anticipated.
