| Abstract: | We describe an unusual complication encountered in a patient with a refractory, bulky lymphoma whose 'subclinical' superior vena caval obstruction caused the central venous catheter to curl upon placement. We believe the invasive radiologic techniques described in this report represent a viable alternative to the surgical resolution of such a problem. |
