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

Journal of Vascular Nursing, 2007
The symptoms that result from compression of the superior vena cava are known as superior vena cava syndrome. The syndrome was originally described as secondary to infection such as tuberculosis or syphilitic aortic aneurysm. Currently, the origin is generally cancer or thrombotic events. Adenocarcinoma of the lung is the most common cause.
