Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis in the upper extremities caused by peripherally placed central catheters is distinct from typical deep vein thrombosis. This specific kind of mural thrombus may have an impact on D-dimer levels. This study aimed to ascertain if the level of D-dimer level might be considered as independent separate diagnostic marker to rule out upper extremity deep vein thrombosis caused by peripherally implanted central catheters.
