Percutaneous treatment for pacemaker-associated superior vena cava syndrome.
Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction is an uncommon but serious complication associated with permanent pacemaker implantation. The mechanical stress associated with pacemaker wires may lead to vessel wall inflammation, fibrosis, and thrombus formation, and ultimately to venous stenosis and occlusion. The surgical treatment of pacemaker related SVC syndrome requires thoracotomy and carries signi...
متن کاملA case of pacing lead induced clinical superior vena cava syndrome: a case report
INTRODUCTION Transvenous pacing is a relatively safe treatment with a low complication rate, but serious thromboembolic complications have been reported to occur in 0.6% to 3.5% of cases. Superior vena cava obstruction syndrome is generally an uncommon but serious complication occurring in <0.1% of patients. However, when it occurs it carries with it significant morbidity and mortality. CASE ...
متن کاملSuperior Vena Cava Syndrome due to Thrombosis: A Rare Paraneoplastic Presentation of Bronchogenic Carcinoma
Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is not an uncommon occurrence in patients with malignancy and it is often described as a medical emergency. In majority of the cases, SVC syndrome occurs due to mechanical obstruction of the SVC by extraluminal compression with primary intrathoracic malignancies. However, intraluminal obstruction due to thrombosis can also produce symptoms and signs of SVC synd...
متن کاملLuminal vena cava superior and right atrial obstruction associated with severe tricuspid valve stenosis due to endocardial pacemaker leads: an extremely rare complication of permanent pacemakers.
In this report, we describe a case with severe tricuspid stenosis associated with partial luminal obstruction of the right atrium and vena cava superior secondary to transvenous pacemaker leads in a 49-year-old patient who had a permanent pacemaker implanted 17 years ago. The patient had no specific symptoms related to above findings; however, after clinical suspicion, transthoracic and transoe...
متن کاملStent Implantation for Effective Treatment of Refractory Chylothorax due to Superior Vena Cava Obstruction as a Complication of Congenital Cardiac Surgery
Chylothorax is a serious complication of congenital cardiac surgery and is significantly associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Central venous obstruction, which is often related to the insertion of central venous catheters for postoperative management, is known to be an important risk factor for treatment failure and mortality associated with this condition. We present the case of ...
