Superior #VenaCava Syndrome and Intensive Care Process Following #MitralValve Surgery by Ibrahim Mungan in BJSTR


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.
