Dear all,i am 25 yrs old.I got an upper arm DVT in left subclavian and axillary vein.they tried to clear the clot by localized thrombolayses for 3 days but it didn’t resolve at all and the vein was totally occluded.Then i took warfarin and it’s about 5 and half months .i fortunately don’t have any pain or obvious swelling,there is some change in color only.Actually I got a Doppler US few days back which showed that the vein is partially open and they gave me 3 options to choose from:

1-just stop warfarin ,but they said there is a huge risk to get thrombus again in the same place after stopping the drug.

2-stop warfarin and do a first rib resection surgery,because they think it’s probably the cause of the thrombus.

3-Continue warfarin for life.

I am doing well and actually have no obvious symptoms,so I am confused to choose the right option after this unusual condition.
I will very thankful if you give me advise..any one got the same condition ???anyone did surgery?? was there any complications??

Thank you all for all your help
