Stenting of non-malignant superior vena caval occlusion: a case report
1Department of Cardiology and Intervention, AMRI Hospitals, Kolkata.
Abstract:
Endovascular stenting has been proposed as the primary treatment of choice in superior vena caval syndrome. Here a 34 year male had been diagnosed to have superior vena caval syndrome with pleural effusion (left side). CT scan showed sequential occlusion of superior vena cava lumen with left sided chronic pleural collection. Angiography showed superior vena caval occlusion. He was treated with antituberculous drugs for left sided pleural effusion. Superior vena caval syndrome was managed by deploying a stent which was postdilated by a peripheral balloon.
