Life-threatening complications can occur unexpectedly during general anesthesia in operations for superior vena caval (SVC) syndrome due to intrathoracic tumors. To prevent such sequelae, we have placed a temporary extracorporeal axillofemoral venous bypass graft with satisfactory results. In six patients (malignant mediastinal tumor, four; lung cancer, two), under local anesthesia before induction of general one, the cannulas, each appropriately sized in accordance with the diameter of the axillary and femoral veins, were directly introduced into the corresponding veins after systemic heparinization. The two cannulas were connected with a tube to which a side arm, which was usually clamped, was connected. The venous pressure of the internal jugular vein decreased immediately after establishment of the temporary bypass in all patients. The symptoms that accompanied SVC syndrome did not worsen and the life-threatening complications at the time of induction of general anesthesia were avoided with this procedure. In each case cardiopulmonary bypass on stand-by was unnecessary at this time. Venous bypass grafting with vascular prostheses were mainly performed under cardiopulmonary bypass, which was required for such operative procedures. In three patients the side arms were used for part of the venous drainage during cardiopulmonary bypass. The SVC syndrome instantly disappeared after operations in all patients including one in hospital death. No serious complications related to the temporary bypass procedure have been observed. This temporary bypass procedure has several advantages. It can be safely performed under local anesthesia with no special technique for the cannulation. Venous blood naturally drains from the upper part to the lower part of the body by pressure gradient, that warrants the safe induction of general anesthesia and ensuing operative procedures. The side arm is available for venous drainage during cardiopulmonary bypass. There are no serious complications related to the bypass procedure. Thus this temporary bypass is recommended as a life-saving and auxiliary device in urgent operations for acute progressive SVC syndrome with symptoms of cerebral edema and upper airway obstruction due to intrathoracic malignancies.
