  • Title: [Four cases of hemorrhages after surgical repair of iatrogenic tracheal stenosis (author's transl)].
    Author: Putz P, Vanderhoeft P, Rocmans P.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1977; 76(3):371-4. PubMed ID: 331817.
    Abstract:
    In our series of 23 patients, operated 27 times, for a iatrogenic stenosis of the trachea, there were 4 deaths by hemorrhage of the innominate artery. Three resulted from shearing of the artery by the tracheal sutures. One came from erosion by a tracheostomy cannula. This fatal complication should be prevented by preserving healthy tissues between the artery and the trachea.
