Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis in the upper limb is a much less common entity than its lower limb counterpart, it occurs between 4 and 10% of all cases in regards deep vein thrombosis, a few years ago it was considered a rare pathology, therefore fewer trials were performed, therefore, it contributed to the fact that its diagnosis was less suspected. The vast majority of the patients are almost asymptomatic and they present with a confusing medical history. The risk factors involve congenital alterations in the anatomy as well as the presence of malignancy, thrombophilia or placement of transvenous implants; the symptoms, diagnostic and treatment methods differ widely versus lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. However, as there is an increase in the use of central venous catheters and the implantation of pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators, there has also been an increase in the presence of this pathology. A prompt and accurate diagnosis and approach with anticoagulant therapy are the key to preventing complications such as pulmonary thromboembolism or post-thrombotic syndrome.
