Abstract
Despite tracheotomy being a routine procedure, it is not rare to encounter anatomic irregularities that can compromise its success. In this report, we describe a case in which a high riding innominate artery was identified within the surgical trajectory moments before incision, which ultimately necessitated airway securement using an alternative laryngological procedure.
