Alerts clinicians to rare lead-related SVC syndrome years post-implant; case report leaves open true incidence and prevention strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the potential for pacemaker leads to induce non-malignant superior vena cava syndrome, requiring diagnostic imaging like cavography for confirmation.
Musumeci et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Superior vena cava syndrome (n=1). Pacemaker implantation with endocardial ventricular lead was evaluated on Diagnosis of superior vena cava syndrome. A 62-year-old woman developed pacemaker-induced superior vena cava syndrome three years after implantation of an endocardial ventricular lead, confirmed by cavography.
