This disorder involves primary thrombosis of the axillary vein or subclavian vein.
At this point, the brachial veins join the basilic vein to form the axillary vein.
Bonderman missed most of the 2008 season because he had procedures done to remove a blood clot in his axillary vein.
There is one axillary vein on each side of the body.
It passes through the axilla, at first lying behind, and then medial to the axillary vein, and communicates with the intercostobrachial nerve.
These DVTs typically occur in the axillary or subclavian veins.
The axillary vein is strongly curved towards the wingtip, so if extended, the axillary and anal veins would meet before reaching the wing tip.
The contents of the axilla include the axillary vein and artery, as well as the brachial plexus, lymph nodes and fat.
The cephalic vein travels on the lateral side of the arm and terminates as the axillary vein.
The axillary artery is accompanied by the axillary vein along its length.
