Abstract
Implementation of an emergency approach to treat Paget-Schroetter syndrome is highly recommended to prevent the delayed sequelae of permanent subclavian vein obliteration and disability. In chronic obstruction, when feasible, we recommend a long saphenous vein patch, followed by endovascular stent implant.
