    Author: Fukui T, Ro D, Takanashi S.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2010 Aug; 11(2):192-3. PubMed ID: 20504891.
    Abstract:
    Ascending aortic aneurysm is a rare cause of superior vena cava syndrome. Herein, we describe a case of superior vena cava syndrome caused by a chronic dissecting aortic aneurysm after aortic valve replacement. A successful replacement of the aortic root and ascending aorta led to an improvement of edema of the face and bilateral upper limbs caused by superior vena cava syndrome.
