Abstract
Chronic upper extremity (UE) occlusive disease and superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) can be debilitating to the patient. Chronic UE venous occlusion is more often because of a benign lesion, whereas SVCS is more likely the result of malignant obstruction. Endovascular treatment with percutaneously placed intravascular stents is increasingly being used to provide relief of symptoms.
