    Author: Akoglu H, Yilmaz R, Peynircioglu B, Arici M, Kirkpantur A, Cil B, Altun B, Turgan C.
    Journal: Hemodial Int; 2007 Oct; 11(4):385-91. PubMed ID: 17922732.
    Abstract:
    Central venous catheters in hemodialysis patients may result in superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. With the increasing use of these catheters, the SVC syndrome will probably be more common among hemodialysis patients. This report describes 3 cases of SVC syndrome due to central venous catheters that developed in hemodialysis patients with previous multiple catheter placements.
