Abstrakt: We report the case of a 71-year-old man receiving anticoagulant treatment because of a mechanical aortic valve. Because of an unsuccessful weaning after abdominal surgery, a translaryngeal tracheostomy was realised without incident. The patient died few days later after a hypoxic cardiac arrest due to a severe haemorrhage after the first recannulation. This case illustrates a severe complication because of the recannulation after a translaryngeal tracheostomy and how cautions one should be before realizing a percutaneous tracheostomy in a patient under anticoagulant treatment.
