[Effort thrombosis of the subclavian-axillary vein: a report of 3 cases and the individualization of treatment].
The previous history, clinical evolution, diagnostic procedure and treatment in three cases of effort thrombosis of the subclavian-axillary vein are described. Only one patient presented on admittance signs compatible with thoracic outlet syndrome. We insist on the importance of individualizing treatment. A patient presented on admittance an advanced clinical picture and underwent anticoagulant treatment for six months, showing important clinical and phlebographic alterations during this time. The other two patients presented an acute picture of a few hours of evolution and initially underwent fibrinolytic treatment followed by anticoagulant treatment during three months. The clinical data as well as phlebography was normal in these patients six months after admission.
