Background:
How to maximally improve the drainage of intracranial and upper body venous and to reduce neurological complications during thoracic tumor-causedsuperior vena cava replacement are still clinical problems to be solved.
Methods:
We have innovatively used the bilateral jugular vein-left femoral vein ECMO shunting to perform mediastinal tumor resection and superior vena cava replacement in a 50-year-old woman.
Results:
During the operation, this technique maintained the patient's hemodynamic stability, improved the cerebral oxygen saturation and reduced the cerebral ischemia, hypoxia as well as the neurological complications.
Conclusion:
It is indicated for patients with superior vena cava replacement who are unable to perform venous bypass (such as innominate vein to right atrial bypass) or venous shunting (such as differential pressure drainage from internal jugular vein to femoral vein).

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
