We present a case of iatrogenic SVC obstruction that was initially treated with transcatheter balloon angioplasty, which provided temporary relief, and ultimately resolved by stenting the affected segment.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The index case underwent total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repair and presented 3 months after surgery with features of SVC obstruction. Initially, transcatheter balloon angioplasty was performed, providing relief from the obstruction; however, the condition recurred within one month. Finally, the patient was treated with percutaneous stenting of superior vena cava, through femoral venous route, using 8\u00a0mm\u2009\u00d7\u200930\u00a0mm balloon-expandable bare metal stent (Formula 418, Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN). Remarkable relief of obstruction was established with decrease in mean gradient across SVC\u2013right atrium junction to 2\u00a0mm Hg (from 12\u00a0mm Hg before balloon angioplasty and 18\u00a0mm Hg before stenting).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Percutaneous treatment for iatrogenic SVC obstruction developing after cardiac surgery appears to be effective.
