Abstract
The pull-through technique is an interventional radiological procedure used when an occluded lesion cannot be traversed from one direction. To pass the lesion, a long guidewire is traversed from the opposite side and pulled through the ipsilateral sheath using a snare wire. The present report describes a case of severe superior vena cava syndrome treated by stent placement using a pull-through technique with pincer tactics. We successfully placed a stent in the occluded right internal jugular vein to the superior vena cava using a bilateral approach by snaring a guidewire in the right subclavian vein.
