Research Progress of Drug Therapy of Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis

OBJECTIVE To introduce the drug therapy of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis(UEDVT) in recent years, and provide a reference for clinical drug treatment selection. METHODS To review the drug therapy of UEDVT by searching domestic and foreign studies based on pertinent literature. RESULTS Nowadays, treatment for UEDVT was derived largely from evidence for treatment of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. The drug therapy mainly includes anticoagulation and thrombolytic therapy. CONCLUSION UEDVT is becoming increasingly common, and it is very important to further explore the drug therapy of UEDVT.
