    Author: Shah MK, Burke DT, Shah SH.
    Journal: South Med J; 2003 Jul; 96(7):669-72. PubMed ID: 12940317.
    Abstract:
    Upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) was an understudied disease until recently. Previously thought of as benign, UEDVT has been shown in recent studies to pose a significant risk for pulmonary embolus and death. This article reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic tests, treatment options, complications, and prevention strategies for patients with UEDVT.
