“…Another rare collateral pathway that is described in case reports is the SPVS [13-15]. Upon review of the literature, we found 2 cases of SVC/IVC obstruction with SPVS [16, 17], but in those cases, the patient had also BCS, while our patient had obstruction of the infrahepatic part of the IVC only (Fig. 3, 3, 4).…”

Complete Superior and Inferior Vena Cava Obstruction Associated with Systemic-to-Pulmonary Venous Shunts in a Young Female with Heterozygous Prothrombin G20210A Gene Mutation

Complete superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction is not uncommon and most commonly associated with malignancy. The risk increases in patients with central lines and hypercoagulable states such as with malignancy, thrombophilia, or use of oral contraceptive pills. According to our knowledge, complete SVC and IVC obstruction associated with systemic-to-pulmonary venous shunts in patients with prothrombin G20210A gene mutation has not been reported in the literature. Here we report the case of a 34-year-old female with complete SVC and IVC obstruction presenting with oxygen desaturation and shortness of breath due to systemic-to-pulmonary venous shunts. The unusual collateral pathway was secondary to SVC obstruction. The patient was managed conservatively, and she remained stable.

“…Very limited data on the incidence of combined SVC and IVC occlusion have been published. There are few case reports that have been published documenting that this has occurred in patients with known hypercoagulable states including prothrombin gene mutation G20210A and APLS [5,6].…”

Independently, superior vena cava (SVC) occlusion and inferior vena cava (IVC) occlusion are usually seen in the setting of SVC syndrome and iliocaval venous obstruction (ICVO), respectively. Concomitant occlusion of the SVC and IVC is rare and most commonly seen in the setting of malignancy or other hypercoagulable states. Venous hypertension can lead to the formation of “downhill” varices in the esophagus and can be a rare source of gastrointestinal bleeding. We present a rare case of combined SVC and IVC occlusion and its management.

Hypoxemia and Right-to-Left-Shunt in Patient with Antiphospholipid Syndrome: A Case Report with Multimodality Imaging Findings and Literature Review

Abstract: This is a case report of an extremely rare cause of superior vena cava syndrome with systemic-to-pulmonary venous shunts, illustrated using different imaging modalities with successful SVC and IVC dilatation and stenting.
