A member asked:
Can blood clots come from the upper extremities? if so, other than a p.e., what would be the proper diagnosis? thank you for your help.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But it is quite rare, and when it does happen it is usually in a patient with a vascular access device in the arm or neck.
