The treatment of malignant superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) revolves around radiotherapy and chemotherapy to relieve symptoms with surgery being ruled out due to the advanced stage of malignancy. Primary placement of endovascular stent for palliation of malignant SVCS is not commonly reported in the literature. Here, we present two cases of malignant superior vena cava syndrome with successful relief of symptoms after the placement of endo vascular stent.
恶性上腔静脉综合征(SVCS)的治疗主要围绕放疗和化疗以缓解症状,由于恶性肿瘤处于晚期,手术被排除在外。文献中较少报道通过血管内支架置入术来缓解恶性SVCS的症状。在此,我们报告两例恶性上腔静脉综合征患者,在置入血管内支架后症状成功缓解。
