Abstract

Mycotic aneurysms are rare but potentially catastrophic. We report a case of an innominate artery pseudoaneurysm in a 4-year-old patient that caused a tracheoinnominate fistula requiring tracheoplasty with a costal cartilage graft and a homograft iliac artery replacement of the diseased innominate artery, with a successful outcome.
