Abstract
We present a case of severe tracheobronchial compression from a complex aorto‑subclavian aneurysm
in a patient with Turner’s syndrome undergoing open surgical repair. Significant airway compression is a
challenging situation and requires careful preoperative preparation, maintenance of spontaneous breathing
when possible, and consideration of having an alternative source of oxygenation and circulation established
prior to induction of general anesthesia. Cardiopulmonary monitoring is essential for safe general anesthesia
and diagnosis of unexpected intraoperative events.
