Why is a Doppler Venous Both Upper Limbs performed?

This examination is commonly performed to evaluate deep vein thrombosis (DVT), superficial vein thrombosis, venous obstruction, catheter-related thrombosis, venous insufficiency, and other venous disorders affecting both upper limbs.

Which veins are examined during the test?

The examination typically evaluates the subclavian veins, axillary veins, brachial veins, cephalic veins, basilic veins, and forearm veins in both arms. The internal jugular veins may also be assessed when clinically indicated.

Your doctor may recommend this test if you have arm swelling, pain, redness, warmth, heaviness, visible veins, numbness, or suspected blood clots in one or both arms.

Can this examination detect blocked or narrowed veins?

Yes. It can identify venous narrowing, blockage, reduced blood flow, and other abnormalities affecting venous circulation.
