Superior vena cava syndrome in end stage renal disease patients on long term central venous catheters: a report of two cases
Abstract
Background: Central venous catheters are increasingly becoming the most common access at initiation of hemodialysis. They are associated with short term complications such as infections and long term problems resulting in stenosis of the central venous systems.
We report two patients with end stage renal disease, who developed stenosis of the superior vena cava following long term placement of internal jugular catheters for maintenance hemodialysis.
