Key result
Upper extremity radionuclide venography identified abnormal findings in 39 of 106 extremities suspected of catheter-related central venous thrombosis, serving as a reliable noninvasive diagnostic tool.

Does upper extremity radionuclide venography accurately diagnose catheter-related central venous thrombosis in patients with subclavian venous catheters?
Upper extremity radionuclide venography is a reliable, noninvasive procedure for the early diagnosis of venous occlusion associated with subclavian venous catheters.
DHEKNE et al. (1988) conducted an observational in Suspected catheter-related central venous thrombosis (n=60). Upper extremity radionuclide venography (RNV) vs. Contrast venography and postmortem studies was evaluated on Detection of catheter-related central venous thrombosis. Upper extremity radionuclide venography identified abnormal findings in 39 of 106 extremities suspected of catheter-related central venous thrombosis, serving as a reliable noninvasive diagnostic tool.
