  • Title: Case report: superior vena cava obstruction complicated by central venous thrombosis--treatment with thrombolysis and Gianturco-Z stents.
    Author: Edwards RD, Cassidy J, Taylor A.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1992 Apr; 45(4):278-80. PubMed ID: 1395389.
    Abstract:
    Expandable wire stents can provide effective palliation of superior vena cava obstruction (SVCO). We describe a case of SVCO unresponsive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which was complicated by extensive central venous thrombosis. Successful thrombolysis occurred with low-dose streptokinase allowing subsequent stent placement.
