Abstract No. 199 Suggestive Radiographic Features for Diagnosis of Tracheo-innominate Fistula
Tracheo-innominate fistula (TIF) is a rare complication in less than 1% of tracheostomy patients. Bleeding from tracheostomy warrants immediate consideration of TIF due to its high mortality rate. This study proposes an algorithm for TIF management based on suggestive radiographic features on CT angiography (CTA).
