Abstract
Though rare, a spontaneous rupture of a branch of the left subclavian artery leading to a compromised airway requiring emergent intervention by experienced staff can occur. In such cases, the expanding hematoma can cause tracheal deviation. Here we discuss the emergent airway management of such a case emphasizing the importance of early intervention by an experienced airway management team.
