Abstract
- Superior vena cava syndrome is the clinical expression of the obstruction of the superior vena cava reducing the blood flow. Malignant etiologies are the most common. Its management is multidisciplinary and despite the progress of endovascular procedures, conventional surgery retains its place in certain indications. Mediastinal fibrosis secondary to tuberculosis lymphadenopathy may be associated with superior vena cava syndrome. In the presence of symptomatic SVCS associated with extensive mediastinal fibrosis compressing the superior vena cava with sub occlusive thrombosis, conventional surgery remains a treatment option, with cavo-venous derivation by prosthetic bypass.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS.
