AB Thoracic  surgeons  are  routinely  involved  with  patients  with  superior  vena  cava  obstruction  (SVCO)  and  on  occasion  are  called  upon  to  resect  the  superior  vena  cava  (SVC)  in  the  course  of  treatment.  This  chapter  will  summarize  overall  management  principles,  indications  for  SVC  resection,  the  proper  patient  evaluation  with  coordination  of  care,  intraoperative  considerations,  and  postoperative  care  principles  to  ensure  a  successful  outcome.
