支架置入术治疗上腔静脉综合征

Stent placement in superior vena cava syndrome

目的 观察支架置入治疗上腔静脉综合征的临床疗效。方法 采用经皮静脉内支架置入术治疗 12例上腔静脉综合征患者 (男 11例 ,女 1例 ,平均年龄 5 1岁 )。结果 上腔静脉综合征缓解率为 92 % (11 12 ) ,无早期血管堵塞、支架移位等临床并发症 ,复发率 16 7%。结论 经皮静脉内支架置入术治疗上腔静脉综合征缓解率高 ,相对安全简单 ,并发症少。

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of stent placement in the superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. Methods Twelve patients with stenosis of the superior vena cava and/or its main tributaries underwent placement of a self-expanding endovascular Wallstents (11 men,1 woman,mean age 51 years). Results Until death or completion of the study,the SVC syndrome was successfully controlled in 92% of the cases (11/12). There were no early procedure-related complications such as early occlusion,or migration of the stent. The recurrence rate was 16.7%. Conclusion Percutaneous venous stent placement in the superior vena cava is a relatively safe and simple procedure. In majority of cases,the symptoms of the SVC syndrome are relieved immediately and completely. Complications are rare.
