Vena Cava Syndrome

We like to report this case of a 28-year-old lady, who had celiac disease and developed complete Superior Vena Cava Obstruction secondary to prolonged corrective calcium therapy for refractory Hypocalcemia through the central venous line. Usually Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS) due to Superior Vena Cava obstruction (SVCO) has infective and malignant etiologies. Our case is a rare and benign cause, managed surgically after failed endovascular recanalization by the interventional radiologist.

The health care system in Peru treats 15,000 dialysis patients annually. Approximately 45% of patients receive therapy using catheters. The incidence of catheter-induced superior vena cava (SVC) occlusion is increasing along with its associated significant morbidity and vascular access dysfunction. One of the unusual manifestations of this complication is bleeding “downhill” esophageal varices caused by reversal of blood flow through esophageal veins around the obstruction to the right atrium. Herein is presented the case of an 18-year-old woman on hemodialysis complicated by SVC occlusion and bleeding esophageal varices who underwent successful endovascular recanalization of the SVC. Bleeding from “downhill” esophageal varices should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dialysis patients exposed to central venous catheters. Aggressive endovascular treatment of SVC occlusion is recommended to preserve upper extremity access function and prevent bleeding from this complication.
