AB Although  much  of  the  focus  of  venous  disorders  concentrates  on  the  lower  extremities,  pathologic  conditions  such  as  deep  venous  thrombosis  (DVT)  also  affect  the  upper  extremities  with  significant  frequency.  Certain  venous  disorders,  such  as  Paget-Schroetter  syndrome  (PSS),  arise  specifically  because  of  anatomic  relationships  seen  only  in  the  upper  limbs.  The  increasing  usage  of  central  venous  catheters  is  also  linked  to  the  increased  prevalence  of  upper  extremity  venous  pathology.  Advancements  in  noninvasive  diagnosis  and  treatment  have  expanded  the  therapeutic  options  for  upper  extremity  venous  disorders.
