Hybrid surgical resection of a tumor invading the superior vena cava

Recently, hybrid operations featuring vascular interventions have become more common, but applications in the thoracic surgery are few. Superior vena cava (SVC) resection and reconstruction is a typical complex thoracic surgery. Traditional SVC resection/reconstruction requires advanced vascular sur...

Description
Summary:Recently, hybrid operations featuring vascular interventions have become more common, but applications in the thoracic surgery are few. Superior vena cava (SVC) resection and reconstruction is a typical complex thoracic surgery. Traditional SVC resection/reconstruction requires advanced vascular surgical skills. We developed a simple and safe procedure; we insert a stent during malignant tumor surgery involving the SVC. This approach renders such surgery easier, increasing the probability of success.
