Overview
- Paget-Schroetter disease is commonly diagnosed with history and physical examinations. However imaging is usually utilized to confirm the diagnose. Duplex ultrasound is an accepted initial test and the gold standard imaging of Paget-Schroetter disease. Since this diagnostic tool is not fully appropriate to exclude the Paget-Schroetter disease, normal Duplex ultrasound in a highly suspected patient require further investigations.
Ultrasound
- Duplex ultrasound is the gold standard method to diagnose Paget-Schroetter (effort thrombosis).[1]
- Doppler ultrasonography is the best initial test to evaluate a patient with suspected Paget-Schroetter disease (also known as Effort thrombosis).[2] There are some convenient features of this test that make it a proper initial imaging. These features include:
- Low cost [3]
- Availability
- Portability
- Specificity of 93%[4]
- Sensitivity of >80%[5]
- Non-invasive
- Based on some randomized trial duplex ultrasound has a sensitivity of 78-100% and Specificity of 82-100%. [6]
- An experienced technician is able to distinguish between acute and chronic thrombus using Duplex ultrasound. An acute thrombus which is echolucent leads to a non-compressible vein without any flow. In the contrary, a chronic thrombus will appear echogenic and fibrotic with notable collateral veins. [7]
- Some drawbacks of Duplex ultrasonography are:
- Inadequate ability to picture the central parts of the Subclavian and Innominate veins [8]
- Inadequate ability to distinguish central veins from an enlarged collateral vein[9]
- Highly technician dependent[10]
- Findings could be affected by superimposed clavicle and deepness of Subclavian vein in the neck[11]
- False negative rate of 30% (which makes Duplex ultrasonography an improper diagnostic tool to exclude the Paget-Schroetter disease)[12]
- Ultrasound as a non-invasive imaging could be used postoperatively to evaluate venous flow and caliber.[13]
