Abstract
Symptomatic relief of Superior Vena Cava (SVC) syndrome caused by tumor obstruction is achieved by the placement of a percutaneous superior vena cava stent. Complications are rare. Even more uncommon is acute hemodynamic compromise from acute hemopericardium during placement of an SVC stent. Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in the Interventional Radiology Suite (IR) suite allows for rapid diagnosis and guidance of pericardial drainage and hemodynamic management.Entities:
