Three patients with invasive thymoma and superior vena cava syndrome with severe symptoms of cerebral venous hypertension and respiratory obstruction are presented. Two patients showed a type I obstruction and the other had a type II obstruction as defined by Stanford and Doty. In all of them, the tumor was resected and a graft bypass was placed between the left innominate vein and the right appendage. In two patients the grafts were venous and in the other it was a PTFE. All grafts were reinforced with wire rings. The patients improved and the symptoms of the SVCS disappeared, the average time of permeability was 10 months.

D013479 Superior Vena Cava Syndrome A condition that occurs when the obstruction of the thin-walled SUPERIOR VENA CAVA interrupts blood flow from the head, upper extremities, and thorax to the RIGHT ATRIUM. Obstruction can be caused by NEOPLASMS; THROMBOSIS; ANEURYSM; or external compression. The syndrome is characterized by swelling and/or CYANOSIS of the face, neck, and upper arms which is called Pemberton's sign. Classification of SVC obstruction is often based on COLLATERAL CIRCULATION.
