Abstract
Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction is a major complication of different benign, malignant, or iatrogenic etiologies. Angioplasty is the standard of care when conservative treatment fails. We hereby report a hepatic vein percutaneous access when conventional venous access fails or is not available to perform vascular recanalization in a young patient with SVC obstruction.
