Popis: Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator leads have been associated with venous stenosis. Symptomatic venous stenosis can have variable presentations. Early diagnosis and treatment of symptomatic venous stenosis is crucial for favorable long-term patient outcomes. We present a case of pacemaker lead–related superior vena cava (SVC) stenosis, presenting as bulging abdominal veins, that was repaired surgically after unsuccessful percutaneous angioplasty.
