This presentation is limited to a discussion of obstruction of the superior vena cava, either partial or complete. It does not include bilateral innominate vein obstruction or arteriovenous communication between the superior vena cava and ascending aorta, unless these conditions are found coincidentally with superior vena caval obstruction. Perfection of technic of angiography, phlebography, venous pressure, and circulation time has stimulated renewed interest in this syndrome. The clinical picture results...Bibliography COLLATERAL REFERENCES WITHOUT CASE REPORTS1. ACHARD : Tumore del mediastino, Gass. d. osped. e. clin., 1921, xlii, 597-599. Google Scholar2.
