Superior vena cava thrombosis secondary to hickman catheter and complete resolution after fibrinolytic therapy
Support Care Cancer.
1997 Jan.
Abstract
We present a case of acute-onset vena cava syndrome produced by thrombosis of the vena cava superior in a patient receiving adjuvant chemotherapy through a Hickman catheter. After angiographic diagnosis fibrinolytic therapy was administered, which brought about complete resolution. We also present a brief review of the literature.
