Abstract
Paget-Schroëtter syndrome, or primary thrombotic occlusion of the axillary-subclavian vein, is diagnosed in a 42-year-old man subsequently treated with thrombolysis and anticoagulation. Treatment strategies, including early and delayed surgical options, are discussed to determine the best risk/benefit ratio.Keywords
