Abstract
- Reports documenting the mid-term patency of spiral saphenous vein grafts for superior vena cava syndrome in patients with advanced thoracic malignancy are, so far, scarce. The present report describes a 69-year-old man who suffered superior vena cava syndrome due to malignant invasion by advanced lung cancer. Since the huge mass in the anterior mediastinum was unresectable, a bypass from the left innominate vein to the right atrium using an autologous spiral saphenous vein graft was surgically created. Postoperatively, the patient received chemoradiotherapy and maintenance anticoagulant therapy, resulting in survival for 4 years without graft occlusion or recurrence of superior vena cava syndrome.
