Recommended to NOT remove catheter if it is still functional and needed Initiate with UFH, LMWH, or fondaparinux then maintain with warfarin (INR 2-3) or LMWH Thrombolysis is generally NOT recommended but may be indicated for healthy patients (low risk of bleeding) with primary UEDVT with severe symptoms when appropriate expertise is available Surgical intervention is generally NOT recommended but may be indicated for patients with primary UEDVT who fail above therapy Kearon C, Kahn SR, Agnelli G, Goldhaber S, Raskob GE, Comerota AJ.
