Treatment of SVC obstruction with metallic stents is a rewarding procedure. The patients have symptoms that are severe and debilitating and cause significant impairment of life-style. Stent placement rapidly alleviates the symptoms of SVC syndrome and improves the patient's quality of life. The long-term patency rates have not been established; however,

Morphologie, 2006
Duplication of superior vena cava (SVC) is a rare anomaly. The incidence of double SVC in general population is 0.3% whereas in patients with congenital heart disease it varies between 10-11%. Double SVC cases have clinical importance if especially the one on the left side drains into the left atrium. Moreover, double SVC is surgically important in the
