We describe a rare case of superior vena cava syndrome that occurred a few hours after insertion of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator through the right subclavian vein in a patient with previous dual chamber DDD pacemaker. The patient was successfully treated with anticoagulant therapy showing a fast clinical and instrumental improvement.
