| Abstract: | We present the case of a 71-year-old woman who had benign, symptomatic, superior vena cava syndrome that was treated with open surgical bypass using the superficial femoral vein. The patient had an uneventful hospital course and experienced relief of her symptoms. We conclude that the superficial femoral vein is an acceptable bypass conduit for open surgical management of superior vena cava syndrome. |
