Anticoagulation alone was associated with persistent postthrombotic syndrome and recurrence in this small series; leaves open whether adjunctive strategies improve adolescent outcomes.
Does anticoagulation alone improve outcomes in adolescents with exercise-induced upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis?
Adolescents with exercise-induced upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis treated only with anticoagulation appear to have poor outcomes, including high rates of postthrombotic syndrome and recurrence.
Brandão et al. (2006) studied this question.
