Basilic vein thrombosis is a type of superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) in which a blood clot forms in the basilic vein in the arm. Read about causes and more.

Basilic vein transposition (BVT) fulfills the need for a durable conduit with high patency and maturation rates. This retrospective review examines a single group's experience with this procedure.

If the vein is suitable in size/caliber but has questionable patency, consider placing an AV graft. Aside from the cephalic and basilic veins, other veins in the arm and hand are usable for IV access.

Intraoperative duplex ultrasonography was used to assess the degree of venodilatation of the basilic and cephalic veins before and after the block.
