Abstract
We describe an unusual case of tracheo-aortic fistula, which occurred after tracheal surgery and tracheal stenting. The management of this complex case and the surgical technique used for repair are discussed and illustrated. Repair of the aortic arch was accomplished using a modified technique of regional low-flow perfusion, similar to that described for neonatal aortic arch reconstruction. This strategy allowed maintenance of cerebral, myocardial, and systemic perfusion during arch repair, thus avoiding total circulatory arrest.
