Kwon, Jung, Park, Huh, and Joh: Endovascular Stent-Graft Placement for the Treatment of the Aneurysm of the Superior Vena Cava: A Case Report

Abstract

Venous aneurysm of the superior vena cava(SVC) is a rare congenital lesion and can be classified morphologically as either fusiform or saccular. Although there is a controversy with regard to the need for either conservative or surgical treatment, surgery is recommended for the saccular type as major complications of the aneurysm may occur. We report a case of saccular aneurysm of the SVC, treated by means of an endoluminal stent-graft.
