Abstract
BACKGROUND: Superior vena cava syndrome results from the occlusion of blood flow in the superior vena cava due to external compression, internal obstruction, or infiltration of the vessel wall by a tumor. Although thrombotic complications caused by electrodes of cardiac implantable devices are uncommon in clinical practice, their incidence has been increasing due to the increasing need for such devices, which effectively correct the compromised electrical or mechanical functions of the heart chambers.
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: Herein, we have presented a case of superior vena cava thrombosis syndrome in a patient who had undergone cardioverter–defibrillator implantation for dilated cardiomyopathy. We have discussed the classification of superior vena cava syndromes, its pathogenesis, and the types of collateral circulation.
CONCLUSION: As observed in our patient, the concurrent presence of chronic heart failure syndrome can make it challenging to recognize superior vena cava syndrome in the early stages of diagnosis.
