A large brachiocephalic trunk aneurysm with airway compression

Abstract

Brachiocephalic trunk (BCT) aneurysms are rare but very important since they pose a significant threat to life and limbs due to the risk of rupture, embolization, or compression of the adjacent structures. We now present a case of a BCT aneurysm with tracheal compression leading to difficult ventilator weaning.
