Jl. Haddad et al., SVC SYNDROME AS A LATE COMPLICATION OF ASCENDING AORTIC-ANEURYSM REPAIR - MR DIAGNOSIS, Journal of computer assisted tomography, 17(6), 1993, pp. 982-985
Imaging evaluation is important in the follow-up of patients who have
undergone surgical repair of the aorta. We present a case in which MR
imaging demonstrated compression of the superior vena cava (SVC) as a
late complication of ascending aortic aneurysm surgery. This complicat
ion led to thrombosis and clinical SVC syndrome.
