  • Title: Acute superior vena cava occlusion after stenting of tracheoesophageal fistula.
    Author: Kapadia MR, de Hoyos AL, Blum MG.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2009 Apr; 87(4):1260-2. PubMed ID: 19324164.
    Abstract:
    Acute development of superior vena cava syndrome is unusual. This report describes a patient who suddenly presented with a superior vena cava obstruction after esophageal and tracheal stenting for a malignant tracheoesophageal fistula. Stenting of the superior vena cava rapidly alleviated the obstruction and resulted in resolution of symptoms.
