A tracheostomy tube was positioned but after several days the patient died because of a tracheo-esophageal fistula with left aortic arch erosion due to the decubitus of the tube cuff. Key words: double aortic arch, tracheostomy contraindication, hemorrhage, tracheal fistula aorto, tracheal fistula esophageal
