Predictive factors of venous recanalization in upper-extremity vein thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Upper extremity venous thrombosis (UEVT) represents about 10% of venous thrombo-embolic disease. This is mainly explained by the increasing use of central venous line, for oncologic or nutritional care. The factors associated with venous recanalization are not known.

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate prognosis factor associated with venous recanalization after UEVT.

Methods

This study included patients with UEVT diagnosed with duplex ultra-sonography (DUS) from January 2015 to December 2017 with DUS evaluations during follow-up. A multivariate Cox proportional-hazards-model analysis was performed to identify predictive factors of UEVT complete recanalization.

Results

This study included 494 UEVT, 304 proximal UEVT and 190 distal UEVT
