A STUDY OF SUPERIOR VENA CAVA OBSTRUCTION SYNDROME.

Project description:Superior vena cava obstruction syndrome was studied in 22 patients with a view to assess the etiological pattern and clinical profile. It was found that 4 patients (18.1%) had benign disease and the remaining 18 (81.9%) patients had malignancy. In 13 patients (59.9%) obstruction occurred due to bronchogenic carinoma. No complications occurred with invasive diagnostic procedures. All heavy smokers (59.9%) were found to have malignancy. Normal lung fields on chest radiography and CT scan with superior vena obstruction syndrome suggested benign disease in 2 cases.

Diathermy-assisted recanalization of chronic superior vena cava obstruction, case report.

Project description:The number of cases of superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) increased due to increased cardiac devices and central venous catheters. Management of benign SVCS is still controversial. A 51-year-old male known to have ischemic cardiomyopathy and chronic renal failure on regular hemodialysis. In the last 12 months, he had progressive shortness of breath and swelling of his upper part of the body. Examination revealed engorgement of the neck veins, facial puffiness, and pitting edema of both upper limbs. Venography showed occluded SVC. We applied a 50 Watt of energy via electrocautery pen to a Hi-Torque 0.014 Astato guidewire to cross the occluded segment retrogradely. We used 2 stents 39 mm, mounted on BIB 20/40 mm. Final angiography revealed full restoration of SVC flow. Diathermy use to cross a chronic total SVC obstruction is feasible and safe. Endovascular techniques are suitable as initial management of benign SVC syndrome.

Absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava: An incidental finding.

Project description:A patient with Marfan syndrome undergoing Bentall operation was found to have an absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava. The dilation of coronary sinus raised the suspicion of persistent left superior vena cava. The diagnosis was confirmed by agitated saline contrast echocardiography and computed tomography of the chest.

Leadless pacing in a patient with superior vena cava syndrome undergoing lead extraction and percutaneous angioplasty.

Project description:Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is an uncommon but serious complication associated with chronic transvenous implanted leads. In the recent past, open-heart surgery combining lead extraction and epicardial implant was usually performed to reduce syndrome recurrences. We describe the case of a 78-year-old man successfully treated by percutaneous lead extraction associated with venous balloon angioplasty and reimplantation of leadless pacemaker. <Learning objective: Chronic vascular complications following lead implantation usually require surgical treatment, due to the need for subsequent epicardial implantation. Percutaneous lead extraction along with leadless pacing allowed effective non-surgical management of chronic complications of transvenous pacing.>.

Absent right superior vena cava.

Project description:A patient planned to be performed catheter ablation. However, three-dimensional contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography revealed isolated persistent left superior vena cava. We should know such an anatomical abnormality especially when central venous catheter or peripherally inserted central catheter is inserted from right jugular vein or right subclavian vein.

Aortic valve endocarditis with root abscess causing superior vena cava obstruction: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundTo our knowledge, we report the first case of endocarditis with root abscess causing compressive superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction.Case summaryAn 84-year-old gentleman with previous tissue aortic valve replacement presented with fevers and systemic upset. Blood cultures grew Streptococcus anginosus and transoesophageal echocardiogram identified prosthetic valve vegetations with an associated root abscess. Antibiotics were commenced and referral made for surgical consideration. Several days into treatment the patient developed clinical signs of SVC obstruction and computed tomography demonstrated an enlarging root abscess with SVC compression. The patient was discussed with local cardiothoracic centres, but surgery was not an option primarily due to abscess size and vascular involvement. Priority moved from active to palliative treatment given no improvement with antibiotics, unsuitability for surgery, and patient discomfort. Within several weeks, symptoms/signs of SVC obstruction actually improved, likely due to collateral venous circulation formation and the patient was discharged home with palliative care input.DiscussionThere are previous reports of SVC obstruction related to infected SVC thrombus, indwelling intravascular devices, and para-aortic abscess, but none related to infective endocarditis. Streptococcus anginosus endocarditis is rare but often associated with abscess formation, and male gender, increasing age, and previous surgery are recognized risk factors.
