Relief of superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome due to non-neoplastic mediastinal disease presents a formidable challenge. Long-term patency of surgically created bypass grafts has been poor, and the morbidity associated with these procedures is substantial. We report a case of SVC syndrome, caused by fibrosing mediastinitis, treated with Palmaz balloon expandable intravascular stents. Intravascular stents are a promising alternative for relief of non-neoplastic SVC obstruction.
