La aparición de un síndrome de vena cava superior secundario a enfermedad benigna es poco frecuente y, dentro de esta entidad, es casi excepcional que sea debido a la presencia de catéteres intraluminales. Presentamos 2 casos de síndrome de vena cava superior secundario a la implantación de marcapasos cardíacos intracavitarios, y se discuten los distintos tipos de tratamiento

The appearance of superior vena cava syndrome secondary to benign disease is rare, and it is extremely rare for this condition to develop as a result of the presence of intraluminal catheters. We report two cases of superior vena cava syndrome secondary to implantation of intracavitary pacemakers. We discuss different types of treatment
