Two patients with superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) recurring after maximum-tolerance radiation were treated by placing a Gianturco expandable wire stent (GEWS) into the obstructed superior vena cava. The SVCS symptoms rapidly disappeared and good short-term (6 months) palliation was achieved. GEWS placement is a promising therapeutic alternative for palliation of SVCS symptoms when other therapeutic modes cannot be used or are not effective.
两名上腔静脉综合征（SVCS）患者在接受最大耐受剂量放疗后复发，通过将Gianturco可扩张金属丝支架（GEWS）置入阻塞的上腔静脉进行治疗。上腔静脉综合征症状迅速消失，实现了良好的短期（6个月）姑息治疗效果。当无法使用或其他治疗方式无效时，置入GEWS是缓解上腔静脉综合征症状的一种有前景的治疗选择。
