Abstract

RESULTS: Mean age was 56.4 15.7. Eight (72.7%) were females. Most common risk factors were hypertension (81.8%), hyperlipidemia (36.4%), history of tobacco use (36.4%), and diabetes mellitus (36.4%). Endovenous approach and open bypass were used in seven (63.6%) and four (36.4%) cases, respectively. Ten patients (90.9%) presented with facial and cervical edema; five (45.5%) with additional UE edema, three (27.3%) with respiratory embarrassment, and two (18.2%) with weakness and headache. In all cases etiology was indwelling hemodialysis access devices. All cases resolved SVC syndrome and facies, and retained UE dialysis conduits. Post-operative complications occurred in two (18.2%) cases. Technical success was 100%, no re-interventions or deaths within 30 days.
