“…Fukui et al reported a case of SVC syndrome caused by a chronic dissecting aortic aneurysm after aortic valve replacement ( 4 ). Pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta or aortic arch -traumatic, infectious or iatrogenic- have been also reported as causes of SVC syndrome ( 5 - 8 ). A rare case of SVC syndrome has been reported in a 8-year old girl as a consequence of long-term use of central venous catheters for hemodialysis ( 9 ).…”

Introduction:Induction of general anesthesia in patients with superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome may cause airway obstruction and cardiovascular collapse.Case Presentation:Herein, we introduced a patient with the diagnosis of dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta who was candidate for emergency surgery. He also had symptoms of SVC syndrome. To maintain airway patency during anesthetic management, we decided to perform femoro-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass followed by general anesthesia and tracheal intubation.Conclusions:Femoro-femoral bypass prior to initiation of sternotomy is a safe and easy method in patients with aortic dissection and SVC syndrome in whom earlier endotracheal intubation may not be feasible.

“…However, symptoms can occur because of the aberrant anatomy, which can lead to compression of mediastinal structures, or because of aneurysm or dissection [1] , [2] . There have been reports of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) caused by a giant aneurysm of the ascending aorta [3] , [4] . However, there have been no reports of DVT resulting from an aortic aneurysm of moderate size for which surgery is not indicated.…”

Right internal jugular vein thrombosis caused by aneurysm of right-sided aortic arch

A right-sided aortic arch is normally asymptomatic. We report the case of an 84-year-old man with right internal jugular vein thrombosis caused by an aneurysm in a right-sided aortic arch. The patient had undergone open repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and had an uneventful postoperative course. However, a routine postoperative contrast-enhanced thoracic and abdominal computed tomography scan showed right internal jugular vein thrombosis. The patient had no history of catheter insertion in the right jugular veins and had no hereditary coagulopathy. It was presumed that the cause of this thrombosis was compression of the right brachiocephalic vein by an aneurysm of the right-sided ascending aorta that was considered too small to require surgical repair. The right internal jugular vein thrombosis was successfully treated with edoxaban.
