“…CDUS has been used successfully to evaluate thrombosis related to indwelling central venous catheters and the patency of the vascular access in patients undergoing hemodialysis. 10 Although venography is the gold standard for demonstrating both venous obstructions and venous collateral pathways, CDUS should be the first-line modality for evaluating central venous obstruction. CDUS may provide a road map for the angiographer performing venography and any required intervention, and its use may minimize the need for contrast agents, which is especially important in patients with chronic renal failure.…”

Occlusion or stenosis of the superior vena cava, the innominate vein, or both is an important clinical problem that requires prompt diagnosis. To confirm a suspected occlusion, imaging studies revealing the obstruction and the presence of collateral venous routes are needed. Color Doppler sonography (CDUS) is widely used to evaluate suspected venous thrombosis and collateral pathways. We present the CDUS findings in 2 cases of innominate vein occlusion. In case 1, CDUS of the neck and left upper arm, which harbored a permanent hemodialysis access, showed engorged veins in the upper arm, a patent dialysis access, and some collateral veins in the axilla. The subclavian and internal jugular veins were patent, but the flow in the left internal jugular vein was reversed. The left innominate vein was occluded. In case 2, CDUS of the upper arms showed that the veins, the dialysis access in the left upper arm, and the subclavian and jugular veins were patent, but the flow in the left internal jugular vein and in the right subclavian vein was reversed. Collateral veins were seen in the right axillary region. Both innominate veins were occluded. The resulting collateral pathways, ie, retrograde flow in the ipsilateral jugular vein crossing to the contralateral jugular vein through dural sinuses, were confirmed by venography in both cases.

“…De la même façon, dans notre cas, la phlébographie, la TDM-3D et l'angio-IRM ont été réalisées pour clairement identifier les lésions vasculaires. Chaque technique a ses avantages et ses inconvénients mais, toutes ont leur place dans l'algorithme radiographique du SDT [9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…The fresh clot may be not visualized and the diagnosis done on the presence of a vein enlarged and rigid, without changes on respiratory phases or respiratory maneuvers. Useful findings to rule-out thrombosis are an echo-free compressible vein, normal response to respiratory maneuvers-vein collapse on brief deep inspiration (sniff test), and enlargement on Valsalva test normal color Doppler and biphasic spectral display on duplex sonography [34–37]. The main obstacle for the diagnosis of UEDVT is the presence of overlying bones on the medial subclavian vein and centrally located veins, innominate and superior vena cava, that makes them difficult to visualize and impossible to directly assess by compression techniques.…”

The purpose of this article is to review the spectrum of image-based diagnostic tools used in the investigation of suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Summary of the experience gained by the author as well as relevant publications, regarding vein imaging modalities taken from a computerized database, was reviewed. The imaging modalities reviewed include phlebography, color Doppler duplex ultrasonography (CDDUS), computerized tomography angiography (CTA) and venography (CTV), magnetic resonance venography (MRV), and radionuclide venography (RNV). CDDUS is recommended as the modality of choice for the diagnosis of DVT. A strategy combining clinical score and D-dimer test refines the selection of patients. Phlebography is reserved for discrepant noninvasive studies.
