The use of pacemakers and central venous catheters (CVC) has become commonplace in the field of medicine. In the past, superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome was almost always associated with malignant occlusion of the SVC. However, with the increased use of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) almost 30% of all cases are related to the use of intravascular devices today. We present a case of SVC syndrome in a young patient with prior permanent pacemaker implantation who underwent CVC placement prior to surgery for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
心脏起搏器和中心静脉导管（CVC）的使用在医学领域已经变得非常普遍。过去，上腔静脉（SVC）综合征几乎总是与 SVC 的恶性阻塞有关。然而，随着心脏起搏器和植入式心脏复律除颤器（ICD）的使用增加，今天几乎所有病例中有 30%与血管内装置的使用有关。我们报告了一例年轻患者的 SVC 综合征病例，该患者先前因肥厚型心肌病行永久性心脏起搏器植入，在手术前行 CVC 置管术。
