Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the upper extremity is an unusual
thrombotic event (1-2% of all DVT) which can be conveniently divided into
two categories, traumatic (including "stress") and spontaneous. The
spontaneous form is not reported as often in the literature, but occurs
more commonly than the traumatic form. There is an increased left-sided
predominance in spontaneous DVT compared with the traumatic form, where a
right-sided predominance exists. Possible anatomical and physiological
explanations are offered for the left-sided predominance in spontaneous DVT
of the upper extremity. The thrombogenesis of DVT of the upper extremity is
compared with DVT of the lower extremity. An analysis of responses to
therapy and considerations for other therapeutic approaches are offered.
