The superior vena cava was successfully bypassed in a patient with superior vena cava syndrome due to granulomatous mediastinitis. A spiral vein graft constructed from autogenous vein was utilized. Complete relief of symptoms and graft patency documented by venography six months after the operation confirm the usefulness of this procedure in patients with superior vena cava obstruction.
