Excerpt

A 59-year-old woman with superior vena cava obstruction (SVCO) due to advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma (T3,N2,M2) was referred for superior vena cava (SVC) stenting. This report describes a method of stabilizing a Wallstent which had migrated into the right atrium, using a ”bracing” technique. …
