  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is often underestimated compared to iliofemoral DVT.
  • Previous assumptions of low pulmonary embolism (PE) risk in upper extremity DVT are being challenged.
  • Increased use of central venous catheters raises concerns about upper extremity DVT and PE.
