Fig. 1 A, Short-segment thrombosis of subclavian vein extending into vena cava (arrows) (Table I, patient 2). B, Following fibrinolysis, flow is restored with no collateral branches present. Only minimal residual deformity is seen.

Fig. 2 A, Twenty-four hours after resection of first rib and scalene anticus muscle previously patent subclavian vein became rethrombosed (Table I, patient 1). B, Following fibrinolysis, marked stenosis is present proximal to junction with superior vena cava (arrowhead). Lucency distal to stenosis represents residual thrombus (arrow).

Fig. 3 A, Contrast material injected through Hickman catheter. Thrombus is present in narrowed segment of left innominate vein (arrows) (Table II, patient 4). B, Following fibrinolysis, innominate vein is patent. Web-like stenosis at junction with superior vena cava is present (arrow). C, Following angioplasty no residual stenosis is present. Pressure gradient is abolished.
