CTICasesIatrogenic SVC Dissection
Imaging findings
CT chest shows a focal intimal flap and dissection of the superior vena cava (SVC) following an endovascular snare retrieval procedure of a displaced central venous catheter.
Key takeaways
Endovascular interventions in large veins like the SVC can occasionally cause iatrogenic dissection or intimal injury, which typically resolves without surgery if the patient remains hemodynamically stable.
