RESUMO
La trombosis venosa profunda del miembro superior es una entidad rara que se asocia con el uso de catéteres, estados de hipercoagulabilidad, anticonceptivos orales, neoplasias, síndrome de costilla cervical o de los escalenos, fracturas de clavícula y trombosis inducida por el esfuerzo. Se presenta un paciente de 53 años, del sexo masculino que desarrolló una trombosis de las venas axilar, cefálica y basílica tres días después de sufrir una fractura de tercio medio de clavícula que se inmovilizó inicialmente con vendaje en 8. El cuadro se resolvió con tratamiento con tinzaparina sódica y rehabilitación funcional; la fractura de clavícula consolidó y se recanalizaron las venas trombosadas. Se han reportado algunos casos de trombosis de las venas axilar o subclavia ocasionada por fracturas claviculares. Es muy infrecuente la aparición de trombosis extensa afectando a varias venas, en este caso, secundaria al traumatismo o a la presión ejercida por el vendaje(AU)
Upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis is a rare entity that is associated with the use of catheters, hypercoagulable states, oral contraceptives, neoplasias, cervical rib or scalene syndrome, clavicle fractures and stress induced thrombosis. A 53 year male patient is presented here. He developed thrombosis of the axillary, cephalic and basilica veins three days after suffering a fractured middle third clavicle, which was initially immobilized with eight-bandage. The condition was solved with enoxaparin sodium and functional rehabilitation; clavicle fracture consolidated and thrombosed veins had recanalization. Some cases of thrombosis of the axillary or subclavian veins caused by clavicular fractures have been reported. It is very rare the occurrence of extensive thromboses affecting several veins, in this case, secondary to trauma or pressure exerted by the bandage(AU)
La thrombose veineuse profonde du membre supérieur est une affection rare liée à l'usage de canules, à l'hypercoagulabilité, aux contraceptifs oraux, aux néoplasies, au syndrome de la côte cervicale ou du scalène antérieur, aux fractures de clavicule et à la thrombose induite par l'effort. Un patient âgé de 53 ans, ayant souffert une thrombose des veines axillaire, céphalique et basilique trois jours après une fracture du tiers moyen de clavicule et étant immobilisé au début par un bandage en forme de 8, est présenté. Le traitement a consisté à l'administration de tinzaparine sodique et la réhabilitation fonctionnelle ; la fracture de clavicule a consolidé et les veines affectées par la thrombose ont été récanalisées. Quelques cas de thrombose de la veine axillaire ou sous-clavière provoquée par des fractures claviculaires ont été rapportés. La survenue d'une thrombose étendue affectant plusieurs veines, dans ce cas après un traumatisme ou une pression exercée par un bandage, est très peu fréquente(AU)

OBJECTIVE: To determined the current incidence and acute complications of asymptomatic central venous catheter (CVC)-related deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill children. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a prospective cohort study in 3 pediatric intensive care units. A total of 101 children with newly inserted untunneled CVC were included. CVC-related DVT was diagnosed using compression ultrasonography with color Doppler. RESULTS: Asymptomatic CVC-related DVT was diagnosed in 16 (15.8%) children, which equated to 24.7 cases per 1000 CVC-days. Age was independently associated with DVT. Compared with children aged <1 year, children aged >13 years had significantly higher odds of DVT (aOR, 14.1, 95% CI, 1.9-105.8; P = .01). Other patient demographics, interventions (including anticoagulant use), and CVC characteristics did not differ between children with and without DVT. Mortality-adjusted duration of mechanical ventilation, a surrogate for pulmonary embolism, was statistically similar in the 2 groups (22 ± 9 days in children with DVT vs 23 ± 7 days in children without DVT; P = .34). Mortality-adjusted intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay also were similar in the 2 groups. CONCLUSION: Asymptomatic CVC-related DVT is common in critically ill children. However, the acute complications do not seem to differ between children with and without DVT. Larger studies are needed to confirm these results. Future studies should also investigate the chronic complications of asymptomatic CVC-related DVT.
