Manvinder Singh Sachdev et al. Indian J Pediatr. 2007 Aug.

Abstract

Innominate artery may cross the trachea and cause airway obstruction is a rare cause of vascular obstruction of airway. We describe a child with stridor, inability to extubate in whom the diagnosis was suspected on fluoroscopy and confirmed by angiography. Reimplantation of the innominate artery resulted in excellent results with longterm follow up. Variantions of this condition and modalities for confirmation of diagnosis are discussed.
