In a cohort of patients with symptomatic chronic obstruction of the axillary, subclavian, or innominate veins, the most common etiology among surgical candidates was previous subclavian effort thrombosis.
No clinical data available to inform venous obstruction management; leaves open etiology and surgical indications in this population.
Of 79 patients seen at the University of Minnesota with symptomatic chronic obstruction of the axillary subclavian or innominate vein, 65 were considered surgical candidates. Etiology of the obstruction was as follows: Group A (n = 45), previous subclavian effort thrombosis; Group B (n = 14), stenosis caused by occupation or sport activities; and Group C (n = 6), long segments (4–7.2 cm) of obstruction caused by chronic intraluminal placement of devices (catheters, pacemaker, or defibrillator leads).
