Overview
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is classified based on the site of occlusion or clot formation. Symptom presentation and complication is largely influenced by location of the embolus.
Classification
Classification Based on Site of Thrombus Formation
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) | |||||||||||||||||||
Lower extremity DVT | Upper extremity DVT | ||||||||||||||||||
Proximal (popliteal, femoral, and/or iliac veins) | Isolated distal (calf veins) | ||||||||||||||||||
In studies including symptomatic inpatients, 80% of DVTs are proximal and distal DVT accounts for only 20% of all DVTs, [1][2][3] while studies with outpatients report a proportion of distal DVT as high as 60–70%.[4][5]
Proximal Vein Thrombosis
Proximal vein thrombosis involves the proximal veins, including the popliteal, femoral, or iliac vein. Proximal vein thrombosis is responsible for more than 90% of acute pulmonary emboli and is associated with higher mortality.[6] Clinically, proximal vein thrombosis is considered severe, and it is more commonly associated with serious chronic diseases than distal DVT, such as:[7]
More than 90% of cases of acute pulmonary embolism are due to emboli emanating from the proximal, rather than the distal vein, veins of the lower extremities. [6]
Distal Vein Thrombosis
Distal or calf deep vein thrombosis involves infrapopliteal veins [ie, posterior tibial veins, peroneal veins, anterior tibial veins and muscular calf veins (soleal or gemellar veins)]. It is often associated with transient risk factors,[6] such as:
- Recent surgery
- Immobilization
- Trave
Upper Extremity DVT
- It is most likely due to:[11][8]
- Central venous catheter
- Cardiac pacemaker
- Implanted defibrillator
- Effort thrombosis (Paget schoroeder syndrome)
- Cancer
- Risk of embolizing to PE is less than that with lower extremity DVT.[11]
Classification Based on Depth of Thrombus Formation
- Superficial Versus Deep
- A palpable thrombus formation is classified as a superficial venous thrombus. Clots forming in the lower leg and thigh vasculature (lesser and greater saphenous veins, respectively) or the forearm and upper arm vasculature (radial, ulnar, cephalic and basilic vein, respectively) are also superficial.
- Thrombus formation in the brachiocephalic veins, the internal jugular and the superior vena cava are classified as deep.
Classification Based on Clinical Presentation
Subacute versus acute:
- Subacute thrombosis refers to thrombosis formation involving a narrowing of the vein involved and a hyperechogenic clot; flow may be partially obstructed by this narrowing.
- Acute thrombosis can refer to:
- A vein with a thrombus that is normal or, even, wider than usual with the contralateral side of the vein being unaffected.
- A clot that, during ultrasound echos, is not dense.
- A clot that may totally or partially obstruct blood flow.
- In the evaluation of the upper extremity, the subclavian and brachiocephalic veins inability to be compressed may pose challenges for determining subacute versus acute status.
