We successfully performed transection of the innominate artery in a patient with a neuromuscular disorder through minimally invasive access after confirming the anatomical relationships of the vessel using 3-dimensional multidetector-row computed tomographic angiography. A 16-year-old girl with spinal muscular atrophy type 1 had been on long-term mechanical ventilation with a tracheostomy. She had scoliosis and tracheomalacia. Bronchoscopy showed a flattened and narrow lower trachea and an anterior pulsatile compression by the innominate artery. She underwent transection of the innominate artery to prevent tracheoinnominate artery fistula formation. Based on preoperative 3-dimensional multidetector-row computed tomographic angiography images, the innominate artery was transected through a small transverse curvilinear skin incision just below the suprasternal notch and an oblique partial manubriotomy from the suprasternal notch to the first left intercostal space.
