TLDR
Currently, the clinical decision to initiate anticoagulation therapy for patients with UEDVT is most associated with the documented acute nature of the deep venous thrombosis by duplex ultrasonography, involvement of multiple venous segments, and younger age of the patient.About:

Low Incidence of Pulmonary Embolism Associated With Upper-Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis
TL;DR: Among anticoagulated UEDVT patients, there were four patients who suffered intracranial hemorrhage resulting in three deaths, and an additional three patients who required rehospitalization for upper gastrointestinal or stomal hemorrhage, suggesting the risk-benefit analysis for Anticoagulation does not favor routine antICOagulation among these patients.

TL;DR: The ACR Appropriateness Criteria as discussed by the authors are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 3 years by a multidisciplinary expert panel, where the goal is to localize the site of compression, the compressing structure, and the compressed organ or vessel, while excluding common mimics.

TL;DR: Risk of recurrence was similar in the two groups whereas all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the UEDVT group than the LEDVT group (p = 0.0338); this latter finding was likely due to the high prevalence of cancer in the upper extremity deep vein thrombosis group.

Sonographic and Clinical Features of Upper Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis in Critical Care Patients
Michael Blaivas,Konstantinos Stefanidis,Serafim Nanas,John Poularas,Mitchell S. Wachtel,Rubin Cohen,Dimitrios Karakitsos +6 more
TL;DR: A new sonographic sign is described which characterized acute thrombosis: a double hyperechoic line at the interface between the thrombus and the venous wall; but its clinical significance remains to be defined.
Book ChapterDOI
Venous Thromboembolism: Diagnosis and Treatment
TL;DR: Treatment of venous thrombosis aims to prevent progression of the thrombus; to reestablish blood flow when needed; to reduce complications, morbidity, and mortality associated; and also to avoid recurrence of thromboembolic events.

Journal ArticleDOI
Antithrombotic therapy for venous thromboembolic disease.
TL;DR: It is shown that patients with symptomatic proximal DVT may benefit from fitted compression stockings for at least 3 months to reduce the incidence of the postthrombotic syndrome, and patients with VTE who receive adequate anticoagulation generally do not die of recurrent disease.

TL;DR: Spiral CT can reliably depict central PE and may be introduced into the classic diagnostic algorithms, and CT demonstrated central PE in two patients with normal V-P scans.
