The number of DVTs on upper extremity imaging has increased with the use of PIC lines. Secondary DVTs are more common than primary DVTs involving the upper extremity. UEDVT may be the source of PE, some of which may be fatal. Anatomic variations are very common in the venous system. ...
Venous anatomy, including zones of the upper extremity and a venous duplex scanning protocol for the upper extremity, is described. Indications for duplex imaging, thrombus characteristics and locations, and soft tissue abnormalities including abscesses, cysts, aneurysms, and pseudoaneurysms are all ...
Approximately 1% to 4% of all DVT cases involve the upper extremity, with 9% to 14% of these cases complicated by pulmonary embolism. Prompt diagnosis with duplex ultrasonography and subsequent anticoagulation are the gold standards for identification and treatment. The majority of these cases are ...

Our center had a single case of brachial vein thrombosis among 911 trauma patients who were prospectively followed up, 86 of whom underwent routine screening by upper extremity duplex ultrasonography. At least in our center, the lack of association between DVT and PE cannot be attributed to ...
Duplex ultrasound (DUS) of the left leg showed reflux in the common femoral vein (CFV) (5.8 sec). The proximal GSV was previously ablated and not identified to the knee. The remainder of the calf GSV segment was insufficient and associated with varicose veins at the proximal and mid calf...
secondary CVD CEAP class 4 to 6 was observed in 4% of the limbs at a 1-year period, increasing to 25% at 5-year follow-up.14Inflammation was also found to be worse in patients with more advanced venous disease (skin damage, ulcerations), which is noted by using duplex ultrasound th...
The efficacy of color flow duplex imaging (CFDI) in detecting proximal upper extremity venous outflow obstruction in hemodialysis patients was compared with that of traditional contrast venography.From 1993 through 1997, all hemodialysis patients who were evaluated for upper extremity venous outflow obstr...
Venous ulcer is defined by the American Venous Forum as “a full-thickness defect of skin, most frequently in the ankle region, that fails to heal spontaneously and is sustained by chronic venous disease, based on venous duplex ultrasound testing.” The economic and social burden of this ...
Our experience underlines the importance of a multilevel case-by-case approach and the immediate venous lower limbs duplex scan evaluation in pulmonary embolism events. Our data confirm that anticoagulant alone is not effective in preventing pulmonary embolism. We believe that all the VAs of the ...
