Patient history
A 50‐year‐old male were hospitalized in ICU for a critical COVID-19. The patient required curative anticoagulant therapy for a right internal jugular thrombosis and were tracheotomized seven days (d7) after its admission to be weaned from the mechanical ventilation. Patient was discharged from the ICU at two weeks (d14) and he was transferred into a conventional hospitalization department. Seven days after the ICU discharge (d21), patient reported neck discomfort and important bleeding around the tracheotomy tube. The neck CT-scan revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the cricothyroid artery, which was closed from the tracheotomy tube in neck flexion position (Figure 1a, b). The pseudo-aneurysm was attributed to the vessel abrasion by the tracheotomy tube. According to the comorbidities of patient and the risk of aerosolization, an experimental percutaneous endovascular intervention was proposed to patient.
