    (2023) Marchesini, Michelle; Vargas, J. Francisco; Bergoeing, Michel P.; Marine, Leopoldo A.; Torrealba, Jose I.; Valdes, Francisco J.; Mertens, Renato A.
    We report the case of a 60-year-old woman who sought medical attention for left cervical and supraclavicular pain and swelling. Previous computed tomography, intravascular ultrasound, and venography studies were reviewed, confirming extrinsic compression of the left innominate vein by the left common carotid artery against the left clavicle head. Stenting of the lesion was performed, with good mid-term symptom relief and patency. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case study in the literature to report endovascular treatment of this syndrome. (J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech 2023;9:101290.)
