Transcatheter management of an acute superior vena cava obstruction following paediatric cardiac surgery

Superior vena cava obstruction following paediatric cardiac surgery is a rare yet serious complication. After arterial switch operations, four neonates diagnosed with acute superior vena cava thrombosis were treated using transcatheter interventions. The importance of early recognition and implementation of transcatheter intervention for a successful outcome is emphasised.
