Although imaging evidence of venous obstruction may be present in approximately 25% of patients, symptoms are reported in only 1â3% of cases. Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a rare presentation of central venous obstruction in patients with CIED. We report on the use of a combined approach of percutaneous laser lead extraction followed by venoplasty as a method for treating this problem.
Nursing diagnosis. A nursing diagnosis may be part of the nursing process and is a clinical judgement about individual, family, or community experiences/responses to actual or potential health problems/life processes. Nursing diagnoses are developed based on data obtained during the nursing assessment.
Definition of Principal Diagnosis. The principal diagnosis is that condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for. occasioning the admission of the patient to the hospital for care. Two or more diagnoses may equally meet the definition for principal diagnosis as determined. by the circumstances of admission, diagnostic work-up and/or therapy provided. Be aware that. there is a difference between admitting a patient to treat two conditions and two conditions being. present at the time of admission.
