【 摘 要 】

An azygos vein varix was incidentally discovered in a 26-year-old man. Owing to the potential risk of pulmonary emboli, we implanted a covered stent in the superior vena cava, effectively excluding the varix. Eighth months later, the varix was thrombosed and involuted. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
