Abstract

Upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) was an understudied disease until recently. Previously thought of as benign, UEDVT has been shown in recent studies to pose a significant risk for pulmonary embolus and death. This article reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic tests, treatment options, complications, and prevention strategies for patients with UEDVT.
