To date, the occurrence of this syndrome after epicardial pacemaker removal has not been described. The initial auricular laceration after removal can be complicated by the administration of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs, forming a hematoma that compresses the SVC cranially. Therefore, standardized practice may be necessary in these patients to address anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy, perform serial echocardiography, and pay attention to underlying symptoms, which may be insidious and delayed. 2025-10-24T10:17:58Z 2025-10-24T10:17:58Z 2025-02-18T13:59:32Z 2025-02-18T13:59:32Z 2024-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://hdl.handle.net/11351/12626 Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia;27(4) https://doi.org/10.4103/aca.aca_36_24 Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Wolters Kluwer Health Scientia
