“…1). 4 Finally, Loring8 reports that more than half of the thromboses he studied were at the confluence of the left internal jugular and subclavian veins. In most people the thoracic duct enters at the same point, raising the possibility that the inflow of lymph might include a thromboplastic substance.…”

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the upper extremity is an unusual thrombotic event (1-2% of all DVT) which can be conveniently divided into two categories, traumatic (including "stress") and spontaneous. The spontaneous form is not reported as often in the literature, but occurs more commonly than the traumatic form. There is an increased left-sided predominance in spontaneous DVT compared with the traumatic form, where a right-sided predominance exists. Possible anatomical and physiological explanations are offered for the left-sided predominance in spontaneous DVT of the upper extremity. The thrombogenesis of DVT of the upper extremity is compared with DVT of the lower extremity. An analysis of responses to therapy and considerations for other therapeutic approaches are offered.

“…[209][210][211][212] The annual incidence of upper extremity DVT in the general population is estimated to be three per 100,000 persons. 210,[212][213][214][215] Secondary events, which are more common than primary thrombosis, are predominantly due to central venous catheters, pacemaker wires, and malignancies. Primary events include both idiopathic and effort-related (Paget-Schroetter syndrome) thrombosis.…”

“…Primary or spontaneous UEDVT is a rare disorder, with an incidence reported in adults of 2 per 100,000 persons per year [20], accounting for 11 in 100,000 US hospital admissions [21]. In adults, primary subclavian-axillary vein thrombosis corresponds to approximately 2–4% of all thrombotic episodes [20,21,22,23,24], comprising approximately 30% of all cases of UEDVT [25].…”

Paget-Schroetter syndrome or effort-related upper extremity deep vein thrombosis is a rare condition that usually afflicts young healthy individuals, most commonly males. The cause is multifactorial but almost always involves extrinsic compression of the subclavian vein at the thoracic inlet, causing venous stenosis from repetitive trauma. The diagnosis of this condition may be difficult, and its delay may contribute to potential complications including thrombosis progression, pulmonary embolism, thrombosis recurrence, and post-thrombotic syndrome. Similarly, the best therapeutic option has not been established and in the lack of evidence-based guidelines, treatment may be extremely challenging especially in children, in whom long-term complications can be particularly disabling.
