Superior vena cava syndrome after pacemaker implantation treated with direct oral anticoagulation

Abstract Background Superior Vena Cava (SVC) syndrome, is a quite rare but serious complication after pacemaker lead implantation; most patients are asymptomatic due to the development of adequate venous collateral circulation. Case presentation We report a case of a 75-year-old woman who developed...
