  • Title: SVC syndrome as a late complication of ascending aortic aneurysm repair: MR diagnosis.
    Author: Haddad JL, Rofsky NM, Weinreb JC, Galloway AC.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1993; 17(6):982-5. PubMed ID: 8227591.
    Abstract:
    Imaging evaluation is important in the follow-up of patients who have undergone surgical repair of the aorta. We present a case in which MR imaging demonstrated compression of the superior vena cava (SVC) as a late complication of ascending aortic aneurysm surgery. This complication led to thrombosis and clinical SVC syndrome.
