Roberto,
  Yes, I think the SVC is stenotic and thrombosed.  The only  thing against 
stenting is that it is a fresh heart (worry that stent might  rupture SVC in

area that I sutured).  Plus, I would also be concerned about  all of the
clot 
that would be expected in the SVC and the innominate  veins.  On ultrasound,
the 
right IJ is thrombosed as well.
