Abstract
SANTILLAN-AGUAYO, Enrique; CARBAJAL-ROBLES, Verónica and REJON-CAUICH, José E.. Iatrogenic superior vena cava syndrome: Description of an endovascular approach through a case and literature review. Rev. mex. angiol. [online]. 2022, vol.50, n.3, pp.110-113. Epub Oct 13, 2022. ISSN 2696-130X. https://doi.org/10.24875/rma.22000021.
Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is the clinical expression secondary to a decreased venous return from the brachiocephalic trunks due to stenosis or obstruction toward the superior vena cava. We present a 60-year-old female with an iatrogenic SVCS, secondary to in-stent left brachiocephalic thrombosis after stent decoupling. The previous left brachiocephalic stents were proximal to the right brachiocephalic trunk, therefore, occluding the superior cava vein after thrombosing. We describe the management and present a contemporary literature review.
