Abstract
The areas of the venous system most frequently involved in obstructive lesions (Table 40.1) are the superior vena cava (SVC) and brachiocephalic veins, as well as the inferior vena cava (IVC) including the pelvic veins in malignant disease, post-thrombotic obstructions after central venous lines and deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and finally peripheral and central venous outflow obstruction in hemo-di-alysis access fistulas. Other, rarer causes of venous obstruction are trauma, infectious diseases, venous anomalies such as“webs” or the pelvic venous spur (May-Thurner syndrome), and finally stenoses of the liver veins in Budd-Chiari syndrome.
