Axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis is rare, often linked to effort or thoracic outlet syndrome. Treatment involves anticoagulants or surgery, with good outcomes reported in most cases.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Thrombosis Research
  • Medical Case Studies

Background:

  • Axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis is a rare condition, accounting for 1% of reported venous thrombosis cases.
  • It can be associated with specific causes like physical exertion, cervical ribs, or post-mastectomy complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To study and report on the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes of patients with axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of six patients diagnosed with axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis between 1974 and 1984.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via clinical evaluation and phlebography.
  • Treatment included anticoagulants, bed rest, and surgical interventions for thoracic outlet syndrome.

Main Results:

  • All patients presented with arm edema and functional impairment.
  • Common symptoms included pain (83%), venous prominence (83%), rubor (66%), hyperthermia (50%), and arterial compression (33%).
  • Four patients experienced good outcomes, and two had average outcomes after a mean follow-up of 13 months.

Conclusions:

  • Axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis requires prompt diagnosis and management.
  • Treatment strategies, including anticoagulation and surgery for underlying causes like thoracic outlet syndrome, can lead to favorable results.
