Özet

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the clinical features and outcomes of patients with upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis (UEDVT). Materials and Methods: Three hundered and fourty eight cases diagnosed with UEDVT were included in the study. Risk factors, symptoms, thrombosis localization, and clinical outcomes were examined. Results: The most common risk factors were central venous catheter (CVC) (82%) and malignancy (45%). Edema (77%) and pain (56%) were the reasons for the admission of patients. The most common site involved was the subclavian vein. Although the frequency of pulmonary embolism was 4%, the rate of 60-day mortality was determined as 9%. Conclusion: CVC and the presence of malignancy are common risk factors for UEDVT. Despite its low frequency of pulmonary embolism, it has non-low mortality associated with possible underlying diseases.
