Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Chest computed tomography (CT) shows a normal innominate artery before tracheostomy (A) and on day 13 after tracheostomy (B), and extrinsic compression of the trachea (white arrow) on day 42 after admission (C).
Figure 2
Figure 2
Angiography shows TIF and innominate artery stenting. (A) Angiography reveals the formation of a pseudo-aneurysm of the innominate artery; (B) the ruptured aneurysm was sealed by stent graft.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Post-stenting bronchoscopy and CT finding. (A) A post-stenting bronchoscopy shows the pseudo-aneurysm (black arrow) and a hematoma around the aneurysm, but no active bleeding focus; (B) the post-stenting chest CT still shows a 2.2-cm pseudo-aneurysm (white arrow) and the suspected stent endo-leak.
