Abstract
A [human] case of subclavian vein thrombosis documented by angiography was treated with heparinization, elevation and elastic support of the involved extremity to obtain fixation of the thrombus and allow collateralization to occur. Oral anticoagulation was continued for 6 wk. No symptoms of recurrence were seen after 1 yr of follow-up. Surgical intervention is rarely indicated since the recurrence rate is unacceptable.
