Overview

It is thought that Paget-Schroetter disease is a form of axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis resulted from compression of aforementioned veins. This condition is more common in athletes and/or manual labors. Some studies link Paget-Schroetter disease with anatomical defects involving the thoracic outlet.

Pathophysiology

Physiology

The subclavian vein passes through a space surrounded by the first rib, the scalenus anterior muscle and the subclavius muscle and tendon.[1]

Pathogenesis

  • It is though that Paget-Schroetter disease (also known as Effort Thrombosis) is the result of axillary-subclavian vein compression and subsequent thrombosis, and is more common in athletes and/or manual labors.[2]
  • Around 60-80% of cases with Paget-Schroetter disease have a history of repetitious activity of upper extremity.[3]
  • Sports related to higher chance of developing this condition are baseball, softball, wrestling, playing ball, gymnastic, swimming, hockey, rowing, martial arts, backpacking, recreational badminton, weight training and billiards which require repetitive and constant upper extremity activities. [4][5]
  • Repetitive overhead arm activities (e.g., auto repair and painting) have been reported in a number of cases.[6]
  • Even with normal anatomical structure the Subclavian vein can be compressed through hyper-abduction (more prominent in arm abducted over 90 degrees), extension and/or external rotation.[7][8]
  • In addition to compression, these activities can put tension on the Subclavian vein which lead to micro-trauma of the endothelium and initiate the coagulation cascade.[9]
  • More compression can be seen with hypertrophied Scalenus Anterior or Subclavius muscle.
  • Increased bulk of muscles like Pectoralis minor and Subscapularis muscles and presence of osseous exostosis or fibrous bands, as well as congenital or post-trauma bone deformities can cause further compression.[10]
  • Restricted space around the Subclavian vein lead to blood flow stasis and immobilize the Subclavian vein.
  • The Subclavian vein becomes more prone to endothelial trauma from arm movements when it's mobility has been limited.[11]
  • Endothelial trauma followed by thrombosis and recanalization will result in intimal hyperplasia and inflammation, which can be more complicated by venous webs, extensive collateral formation and perivenular fibrosis.[12]
  • There is no clear connection between Effort Thrombosis and hereditary or acquired thrombophilias, however coexisting Thrombophilia can rise the rate of postoperative complications after corrective surgery. [13]

Genetics

  • No racial or genetic predisposition has been demonstrated.[14]

Associated Conditions

Conditions associated with the Paget-Schroetter disease include:

  • Anatomical abnormalities involving the thoracic outlet:
    • Paget-Schroetter disease or Effort Thrombosis is a venous variant of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
    • Therefore abnormalities like cervical rib, congenital bands, hypertrophy of scalenus tendons and abnormal insertion of the costoclavicular ligament are associated with this variant of Thoracic Outlet Obstruction.[15]

Gross Pathology


Microscopic Pathology

  • No microscopic change is detected on microscopic histopathological analysis.
