Auszug
Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is the constellation of clinical findings resulting from SVC occlusion, commonly due to malignancy or SVC stenosis consequent to central venous catheters and pacemaker/defibrillator leads.1 SVC syndrome affects circulatory hemodynamics by diverting blood to the right atrium through venous collaterals. This longer circulation time could affect myocardial blood flow measurements on myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography, as the kinetics of tracer flow and uptake are based on an assumption of unobstructed systemic blood flow.2 We report a case of a patient with SVC syndrome and abnormal PET MPI. …
