# Successful management of carinal shift in aortic dissection: A case report of innovative airway management strategies

## TL;DR

A case report shows a new airway management technique for aortic dissection with carinal shift.

## Contribution

A novel approach using a single-lumen endotracheal tube for lung isolation in a challenging aortic dissection case.

## Key findings

- Traditional airway methods failed in a patient with carinal shift due to aortic dissection.
- A single-lumen endotracheal tube successfully achieved lung isolation when other methods failed.

## Abstract

The case underscores the necessity of adaptable airway management strategies in aortic dissection surgeries complicated by carinal shift. Successful lung isolation was achieved using a single‐lumen endotracheal tube after failed attempts with traditional methods and bronchial blockers.
