Description

<p>A 17-year-old boy who had played baseball as a pitcher from his elementary school days suffered from his right upper extremity swelling, cyanosis and pain in June, 2001. We recognized the same findings as his complaints on his right arm and superficial venous dilatation around his shoulder girdle at our out patient clinic. Echography revealed thrombosis in his right subclavian and axillary vein and it made him admission. Angioplasty was performed for the residual axillary venous stenosis following the systemic thrombolytic therapy for two weeks. He discharged after angioplasty because his symptoms had diminished. But, two weeks later, he needed re-admission for sudden onset chest pain due to pulmonary embolism and the 1st rib resection was performed. He has been well during the whole postoperative course for 6 years.</p>
