REYES-VIERA, Luz M. et al. Stent interventional treatment of superior vena cava syndrome with a pacemaker placement complication in an infant. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2020, vol.77, n.1, pp.34-37. Epub 25-Fev-2021. ISSN 1665-1146. https://doi.org/10.24875/bmhim.19000097.
Background:
Epicardial pacemaker is the preferred method for newborns and children under 10 kg of weight. However, its placement presents a high rate of premature failure.
Case report:
The case of an infant requiring placement of pacemaker by congenital atrioventricular block with prenatal diagnosis is described. The patient showed critical stenosis of the superior vena cava as a complication. Interventional resolution using a stent at the site of stenosis corrected the superior vena cava syndrome effectively.
Conclusions:
This case represents a clinically viable alternative for the treatment of superior vena cava syndrome, which can be used after other conventional therapies have failed.
