Stenting as First Option for Endovascular Treatment of Malignant Superior Vena Cava Syndrome

Abstract: The Wallstent vascular endoprosthesis is an effective initial treatment in superior vena cava syndrome of neoplastic origin. Morbidity and complications are minimal. Clinical relief of symptoms is rapid; therefore, the Wallstent endoprosthesis is highly recommended as the first choice for palliative treatment of superior vena cava syndrome, especially because the clinical decision for subsequent chemotherapy or radiotherapy or surgery is not in any way prejudiced.

“…5 Finally, when thrombus extends into both brachiocephalic veins, unilateral brachiocephalic vein stenting effectively relieves symptoms while avoiding the higher complication and occlusion rates associated with bilateral brachiocephalic vein stenting. [6][7][8] Symptomatic relief after stent placement is usually rapid. Close to 90% of patients experience some degree of relief within 24 hours of the procedure and another 5% within 5 days.…”

“…En los últimos años se ha desarrollado la cirugía endovascular, como una alternativa mínimamente invasiva, efectiva y de baja morbilidad, en especial en pacientes con etiología neoplásica [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . El presente trabajo muestra la experiencia con una serie de 8 pacientes intervenidos por SVCS, tratados en forma percutánea.…”

“…Desde la publicación de Charnsangavej 20 en 1986, sobre su experiencia con el uso de stents metálicos para el manejo de la obstrucción de la vena cava en perros, numerosas publicaciones han dado cuenta de excelentes resultados clínicos en seres humanos [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] , incluyendo nuestro primer caso, reportado en 2001 15 . El procedimiento se asocia a una muy baja tasa de morbimortalidad, se realiza bajo anestesia local y no implica una incomodidad mayor para el paciente.…”

“…En las series que han sido publicadas, se empleó este procedimiento sobre todo en el contexto de carcinomas bronquiales con extensión mediastínca; dentro de éstas series hemos encontrado algunos casos de SVCS por cáncer de tiroides, de los que no se especifica la variante histológica, con extensión medistínica que se resolvieron mediante stent (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) …”
