“…However, this case report shows that complications such as SVC syndrome may occur. Other researchers state it may have various etiologies, including intrathoracic malignancies, mechanical obstruction by a retractor, malposition of the SVC cannula [8], thrombus formation on top of indwelling catheters or pacemaker wires [9,10]. In our case, the presentation of symptoms of the SVC syndrome was not immediately after surgery.…”

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVС) is an infrequent congenital heart defect. We report a case of rare complication following the correction of PAPVС in a 55 years-old male. On the fourth postoperative day after surgical correction of the mentioned congenital defect, our patient suddenly developed the superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. Computed tomography revealed thrombosis of the upper part of the SVC. Following ineffective thrombolytic therapy, an urgent re-do surgery was performed. Iatrogenic narrowing of the SVC was found at its ostia to the right atrium. The SVC was fully occluded by thrombus up to the inflow of the innominate vein. The patient underwent successful thrombectomy and patch repair of the SVC.

Although most superior vena cava (SVC) syndromes are due to intrathoracic malignancies, some are iatrogenic, such as those following the intravenous implantation of pacemaker wires. To date, the occurrence of this syndrome after epicardial pacemaker removal has not been described. The initial auricular laceration after removal can be complicated by the administration of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs, forming a hematoma that compresses the SVC cranially. Therefore, standardized practice may be necessary in these patients to address anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy, perform serial echocardiography, and pay attention to underlying symptoms, which may be insidious and delayed.
