anterior Mediastinal Fibrosis with superior vena caval obstruction complicating the synovitis acne pustulosis hyperostosis osteomyelitis syndrome
Rheumatology, 1993Co-Authors: T. Cunningham, J. Farrell, Douglas J. Veale, Oliver FitzgeraldAbstract:A syndrome of predominantly palmo-plantar pustular psoriasis associated with anterior chest wall (sternoclavicular, manubriosternal) inflammation has previously been described. In this case, a further patient is reported where chest wall involvement is complicated by anterior Mediastinal Fibrosis and superior vena caval obstruction.

bronchial anthracostenosis with Mediastinal Fibrosis associated with long term wood smoke exposure
Respirology, 2009Co-Authors: Viboon Boonsarngsuk, Thitiporn Suwatanapongched, Mana RochanawutanonAbstract:Bronchial anthracostenosis describes a disease entity consisting of bronchial destruction, deformity and stenosis related to dark pigmentation on bronchoscopy in patients with a history of coal workers' pneumoconiosis or chronic exposure to biomass smoke. The combined occurrence of bronchial anthracostenosis and Mediastinal Fibrosis in association with wood-smoke exposure has not been previously reported. This case report describes a non-cigarette smoking elderly woman who developed bronchial anthracostenosis and Mediastinal Fibrosis after long-term exposure to wood smoke. Clinical and radiological improvements were achieved after treatment with corticosteroid and tamoxifen. Awareness of this unusual entity will help to avoid misdiagnosis of malignancy or unnecessary thoracotomy.

a review of open and endovascular treatment of superior vena cava syndrome of benign aetiology
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2017Co-Authors: G S Sfyroeras, Constantine N Antonopoulos, George Mantas, Konstantinos G Moulakakis, John D Kakisis, Elias Brountzos, Christopher R Lattimer, George GeroulakosAbstract:Background The widespread use of central venous catheters, ports, pacemakers, and defibrillators has increased the incidence of benign superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS). This study aimed at reviewing the results of open and endovascular treatment of SVCS. Method Medical literature databases were searched for relevant studies. Studies with more than five adult patients, reporting separate results for the SVC were included. Nine studies reported the results of endovascular treatment of SVCS including 136 patients followed up for a mean of 11–48 months. Causes of SVCS were central venous catheters and pacemakers (80.6%), Mediastinal Fibrosis (13.7%), and other (5.6%). Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting was performed in 73.6%, PTA only in 17.3%, and thrombolysis, PTA, and stenting in 9%. Four studies reported the results of open repair of SVCS including 87 patients followed up between 30 months and 10.9 years. The causes were Mediastinal Fibrosis (58.4%), catheters and pacemakers (28.5%), and other (13%). Operations performed included a spiral saphenous interposition graft, other vein graft, PTFE graft, and human allograft. Thirteen patients required re-operations (15%) before discharge mainly for graft thrombosis. Results In the endovascular group technical success was 95.6%. Thirty day mortality was 0%. Regression of symptoms was reported in 97.3%. Thirty-two patients (26.9%) underwent 58 secondary procedures. In the open group the 30 day mortality was 0%. Symptom regression was reported in 93.5%. Twenty-four patients (28.4%) underwent a total of 33 secondary procedures. Conclusions Endovascular is the first line treatment for SVCS caused by intravenous devices, whereas surgery is most often performed for Mediastinal Fibrosis. Both treatments show good results regarding regression of the symptoms and mid-term primary patency, with a significant incidence of secondary interventions.
