Successful Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis of Massive Bilateral Upper Extremity DVT Presenting as Superior Vena Cava Syndrome

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is traditionally associated with malignancy. However, approximately one-third of SVCS cases are due to intravascular devices and pacemakers. No specific guidelines exist for managing catheter-associated SVCS. We present catheter-associated SVCS resistant to anticoa...

description Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is traditionally associated with malignancy. However, approximately one-third of SVCS cases are due to intravascular devices and pacemakers. No specific guidelines exist for managing catheter-associated SVCS. We present catheter-associated SVCS resistant to anticoagulation, angioplasty, and thrombectomy but resolved with ultrasound-assisted catheter directed thrombolysis. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
