Abstract
Fibrosing mediastinitis can lead to superior vena cava obstruction by generating a fibroinflammatory mass in the mediastinum. Surgical caval reconstruction with conduits could be indicated for cases of unsuccessful or technically unfeasible endovascular stenting and angioplasty. The use of cryopreserved vascular homografts seems to be better than prosthetic conduits for mid- and long-term patency, as was observed in the case we have described in the present report.
