Superior vena cava (SVC) resection for lung cancer is feasible in selected patients, but the type of vessel reconstruction is still object of debate. We report a case of SVC revascularization successfully performed with heterologous 'custom-made' pericardial tube. This type of revascularization may improve the reconstruction of large mediastinal veins after their resection for malignancies

Abstract
Superior vena cava (SVC) resection for lung cancer is feasible in selected patients, but the type of vessel reconstruction is still object of debate. We report a case of SVC revascularization successfully performed with heterologous 'custom-made' pericardial tube. This type of revascularization may improve the reconstruction of large mediastinal veins after their resection for malignancies
