Approximately 10% of all deep vein thromboses occur in the upper extremity, and
that number is increasing due to the use of peripherally inserted central
catheters. Sequelae of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) are similar
to those for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT) and include
postthrombotic syndrome and pulmonary embolism. In addition to systemic
anticoagulation, there are multiple interventional treatment options for UEDVT
with the potential to reduce the incidence of these sequelae. To date, there have
been no randomized trials to define the optimal management strategy for patients
presenting with UEDVT, so many conclusions are drawn from smaller, single-center
studies or from LEDVT research. In this article, the authors describe the
evidence for the currently available treatment options and an approach to a
patient with acute UEDVT.
