A case report of airway stenting in tracheal compression secondary to right subclavian artery pseudo-aneurysm

We report a 55-year old lady with the presentation of stridor and type II respiratory failure requiring tracheal intubation. She had right Horner’s syndrome associated with pleural effusion. Her chest radiograph revealed right upper zone lobulated opacities and therefore right Pancoast tumor was t...
