  2. Thoracic outlet syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_outlet_syndrome

    Repetitive motions can cause enlargement of muscles which causes compression of veins. Besides, overuse injury of the upper limbs causes swellings, small bleeding, and subsequent fibrosis which would cause the thrombosis of the subclavian vein, leading to Paget–Schroetter disease or effort-induced thrombosis. [7]

  3. Angioplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angioplasty

    Angioplasty is occasionally used to treat residual subclavian vein stenosis following decompression surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. [14] There is a weak recommendation for deep venous stenting to treat obstructive chronic venous disease. [15]

  4. Subclavian vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subclavian_vein

    The thoracic duct drains into the left subclavian vein, [3] near its junction with the left internal jugular vein.It carries lymph (water and solutes) from the lymphatic system, as well as chylomicrons or chyle, formed in the intestines from dietary fat and lipids, allowing these to enter the bloodstream; the products of fats and lipids can then be carried by the bloodstream to the hepatic ...

  5. Venous thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_thrombosis

    Central retinal vein occlusion and branch retinal vein occlusion: despite the name these conditions have much more in common with arterial thrombosis and are not treated with anticoagulants; Paget–Schroetter disease: thrombosis of the veins of the arms (axillary and subclavian veins) Budd-Chiari syndrome (thrombosis of the hepatic vein)

  6. First rib resection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_rib_resection

    For venous thoracic outlet syndrome, removal of anterior scalene muscle (scalenectomy) and freeing up scar tissue around the subclavian vein (venolysis) are often also performed. If anomalous cervical ribs are present, these may be removed as well.

  7. Vascular surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_surgery

    [citation needed] Similar non-hospital treatment facilities for non-operative vein treatment have existed for some years and are now widespread in many countries. NHS England conducted a review of all 70 vascular surgery sites across England in 2018 as part of its Getting It Right First Time programme. The review specified that vascular hubs ...

  8. Paget–Schroetter disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paget–Schroetter_disease

    Paget–Schroetter disease (which evolved from a venous thoracic outlet syndrome) is a form of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a medical condition in which blood clots form in the deep veins of the arms. These DVTs typically occur in the axillary and/or subclavian veins. [1]

  9. Central venous catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_venous_catheter

    Additionally, studies suggest that short term use of CVCs in the subclavian vein is less likely to be associated with blood clots than CVCs placed in the femoral vein in non-cancer patients. [2] In the case of non-thrombotic occlusion (e.g. formation of precipitates), dilute acid can be used to restore patency to the catheter.
