Abstract:
Relief of superior vena caval (SVC) syndrome due to non-neoplastic mediastinal disease is a challenge. Surgically created bypass grafts have poor long term patency with significant procedural morbidity. We report a case of SVC syndrome, caused by Idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis, treated percutaneously by balloon angioplasty with nitinol self expanding stent.
