In 21 consecutive patients, the authors analyzed changes in venous Doppler waveforms of damped or diminished cardiac pulsatility and respiratory phasicity. Each patient was suspected of having upper limb venous thrombosis, but thrombus was not visible at gray-scale ultrasonography (US) in the subclavian and brachiocephalic veins. US findings were compared with phlebographic findings. The results show that US can be used to establish the presence or absence of thrombosis in the distal portion of the brachiocephalic or subclavian veins, which are inaccessible to direct insonation.
