Popis: Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a relatively common complication of malignant mediastinal tumors and can cause severe functional impairment. Over the past 20 years, in addition to the conventional management of the disease, interventional treatment of this syndrome has become a viable option for alleviating the symptoms of SVCS. Thus, multidisciplinary care can maximize the effectiveness of treatment for patients with SVCS.
