Treatment for Paget-Schroetter syndrome
editCurrent recommendations for treatment of Paget-Schroetter syndrome (effort thrombosis, venous thoracic outlet/inlet syndrome) is venography with dissolution of clot as soon as possible with catheter directed thrombectomy and/or thrombolysis (clot dissolving medications). Once the clot is dissolved and function to the vein restored, the underlying cause can sometimes be identified with surgery potentially performed to resolve the underlying anatomic cause. After clot dissolution, patients are maintained on anticoagulation (heparin followed by coumadin typically).

Removed the Trivia section
editI don't edit often, but the trivia section seems somewhat unrelated to the focus of the article. So I removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.70.186 (talk) 21:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
UEDVT
editDoes this article need renaming to upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT)? Paget-(von) Schroetter seems to be particularly a reference to effort-related UEDVT. JFW | T@lk 10:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- IMHO, should be renamed to "Venous thoracic outlet syndrome". BakerStMD 18:17, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
