Venous occlusion impedance plethysmography (IPG) is an objective noninvasive test which is widely employed for the detection of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities. The IPG technique is easily adapted to the evaluation of upper extremity venous thrombosis, as demonstrated in 46 patients with symptoms of axillary and subclavian venous thrombosis (88 limbs) and 26 normal volunteers (52 limbs). Venograms were obtained in 18 patients (22 limbs) and correlated in all cases with the previous IPG interpretation. The test procedure and interpretation criteria for the noninvasive detection of upper extremity deep venous thrombosis are similar to those previously developed for the lower extremities, but with more emphasis on comparison with the contralateral limb. Vascular laboratories performing IPG for lower extremity DVT should be able to employ this test for the detection of upper extremity venous thrombosis as well.
静脉阻塞阻抗体积描记法（IPG）是一种客观的无创检查方法，广泛用于检测下肢深静脉血栓形成（DVT）。IPG技术很容易适用于上肢静脉血栓形成的评估，46例有腋窝和锁骨下静脉血栓形成症状的患者（88条肢体）及26名正常志愿者（52条肢体）的情况证明了这一点。对18例患者（22条肢体）进行了静脉造影，并在所有病例中将其与之前的IPG解读结果进行了对比。上肢深静脉血栓形成的无创检测的测试程序和解读标准与之前针对下肢制定的标准相似，但更强调与对侧肢体进行比较。为下肢DVT进行IPG检查的血管实验室也应该能够使用该检查来检测上肢静脉血栓形成。
