Abstract: We report a case of a patient with symptomatic benign superior vena cava syndrome treated by the endovascular technique. The angiographic resonance before angioplasty showed extensive thrombosis of the left brachiocephalic trunk, left subclavian vein and superior vena cava obstruction close to the right brachiocephalic trunk. The patient underwent radical mastectomy 2 years ago with adjuvant chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy. Venous angioplasty and balloonexpandable stenting were performed. Satisfactory resu… Show more

“…In cases of malignant origin, endovascular recanalization is clearly the treatment of choice [5][6][7][8][9] , and surgical repair should be reserved for resectable tumors [10][11][12][13] . In cases of superior vena casa syndrome of benign cause, the open surgical approach remains the treatment of choice [14][15][16][17] , although some authors sustain their preference for the endovascular technique, regardless of the costs of additional interventions and the need for longer follow-up [18][19][20] .…”
