[Superior vena cava syndrome--clinical aspects, etiology and case reports]
Abstract:
The so-called superior-Cava Syndrome is caused by obstructions by centrally localized tumors by thrombosis or by inflammations of the mediastinum. In cases of tumorous infiltration a graft can be inserted. The different phenomena of thrombosis caused by nutritial catheters and pace makers are of clinical importance. Acute thrombosis of the brachio-cervical veins and the Vena Cava can be treated successfully by means of thrombolysis. Besides CT bilateral brachial phlebography communicates optimal information concerning localization of vascular obstruction and collateral circuits.

Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the middle...
