Superior Vena Cava Syndrome Due to Right Anterior Mediastinal Hematoma: A Case Report.

There is some data suggesting causes like postprocedural hematomas. We aim to describe a case of a patient who developed SVCS secondary to a mediastinal hematoma secondary to epicardial pacer leads (postprocedural).
