Risk calculators and risk factors for Paget-Schroetter disease causes

Common causes of Paget-Schroetter disease include:

• Repetitious activity of upper extremity including hyper-abduction, extension and/or external rotation.
• Restricted space around the Subclavian vein or Axillary vein which further augments the compression:
  • Hypertrophied Scalenus Anterior or Subclavius muscle
  • Increased bulk of muscles like Pectoralis minor and Subscapularis muscles
  • Presence of osseous exostosis or fibrous bands
  • Congenital or post-trauma bone deformities
• Iatrogenic causes like major vein catheterisation
