The subclavian vein is a paired large vein, one on either side of the body, that is responsible for draining blood from the upper extremities, allowing this blood to return to the heart. The left subclavian vein plays a key role in the absorption of lipids , by allowing products that have been carried by lymph in the thoracic duct to enter the ...
the right arm (via the right subclavian trunk) [1] and right side of the head and neck (via the right jugular trunk) [1] also, in some individuals, the lower lobe of the left lung. [5] All other sections of the human body are drained by the thoracic duct. [2] [6]
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] TOS can be related to cerebrovascular arterial insufficiency when affecting the subclavian artery. [8]
The left subclavian artery supplies blood to the left arm and the right subclavian artery supplies blood to the right arm, with some branches supplying the head and thorax. On the left side of the body, the subclavian comes directly off the aortic arch , while on the right side it arises from the relatively short brachiocephalic artery when it ...
In over 95% of individuals, the thoracic duct ends by draining either at the venous angle, or into the internal jugular vein, or the subclavian vein, but - in the minority of cases - empties into either the brachiocephalic vein, external jugular vein, suprascapular vein, transverse cervical vein, or vertebral vein.

Ambesh maneuver is a technique that involves the simple external compression of internal jugular vein in supraclavicular fossa to prevent [1] and diagnose [2] misplacement of the subclavian vein catheter into the internal jugular vein (IJV). The subclavian vein is a big vessel that drains the blood from the hand, forearm and the upper arm into ...

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]
