Abstract
#Superiorvenacava syndrome (SVCS) results from the
impairment of blood flow through the superior vena cava (SVC)
to the right atrium. This blockage which may be caused by a
#mediastinalmass enlargement or #thrombosis of the lumen also
obstructs pulmonary parenchyma and cause respiratory problems
[1]. Thrombosis of the SVC can be produced by the presence of
catheters and #pacemaker leads or by ruptures or lacerations during
surgery and can lead to acute clinical manifestations [2]. In this
case report, we aimed to evaluate a patient with SVCS in the early
postoperative period after #cardiacsurgery.
