“…Cyanosis and facial edema improve in one or two days, (31)(32)(33)(34) and edema of the upper limbs is generally resolved two or three days after the insertion of the stent (23,30,34) but can persist for up to one week. (16,26) In a study published in 1987, one group of authors related their experience with expandable Gianturco metallic stents in the treatment of two patients suffering recurrence of the syndrome after radiotherapy. The authors observed immediate relief of the obstructive symptoms, as well as a favorable palliative result in the short-term (six months), in both patients.…”

“…In one study sample, the placement of stents was only indicated when the peripheral pressure of the vena cava was greater than 22 mmHg. (26) Of the 9 SVCS patients in that sample, 3 presented pressure lower than 22 mmHg and were therefore not submitted to stent placement. In those cases, the syndrome remained stable, without therapeutic intervention, up until the death of the patients from the underlying disease.…”

“…En los últimos años se ha desarrollado la cirugía endovascular, como una alternativa mínimamente invasiva, efectiva y de baja morbilidad, en especial en pacientes con etiología neoplásica [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . El presente trabajo muestra la experiencia con una serie de 8 pacientes intervenidos por SVCS, tratados en forma percutánea.…”

“…Desde la publicación de Charnsangavej 20 en 1986, sobre su experiencia con el uso de stents metálicos para el manejo de la obstrucción de la vena cava en perros, numerosas publicaciones han dado cuenta de excelentes resultados clínicos en seres humanos [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] , incluyendo nuestro primer caso, reportado en 2001 15 . El procedimiento se asocia a una muy baja tasa de morbimortalidad, se realiza bajo anestesia local y no implica una incomodidad mayor para el paciente.…”
