Superior Vena Cava Isolation In Ablation Of Atrial Fibrillation.

Superior vena cava (SVC) is one of the most important non-pulmonary vein (PV) origins of atrial fibrillation (AF). SVC isolation (SVCI) is effective especially in patients with paroxysmal AF from SVC origin. However, SVCI should be carefully performed because of potential complications such as phrenic nerve paralysis, SVC stenosis, and sinus node injury There are two major different approaches ...

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Presenting with Superior Vena Cava Thrombosis

Askin Tumor Presenting as Superior Vena Cava Syndrome

Superior vena cava syndrome.

Approximately 15,000 cases of superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction are diagnosed in the United States annually. Malignancies (primarily lung cancer) are the underlying cause of 80-85% of cases, leaving 15-20% caused by various benign conditions, including sclerosing mediastinitis (the diagnosis in our case). Thrombolytic therapy and major advances in vascular techniques in recent years have imp...
