Symptom resolution
Twenty-three had a patent SV on follow up. This included a patient who
reoccluded after thirty six months and presented with a symptomatic
upper limb venous thrombosis. This was treated with lysis (no
venoplasty) and remains patent on anticoagulants. Two remain patent but
with scarred post thrombotic SVs and the remaining two have chronically
occluded SVs but remain asymptomatic following decompression.
