We describe a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the right lung that
required a resection of the superior vena cava combined with a tracheal
sleeve pneumonectomy. The superior vena cava was totally replaced with a
polytetrafluoroethylene graft with 115 minutes cross- clamping of the
superior vena cava. The patient remains healthy and the
polytetrafluoroethylene graft remains patent 5 years 4 months after
operation.
