A member asked:
I've got a subclavian deep vein thrombosis that didn't respond to warfarin. what now?

Depends: How long have you been on warfarin? What does "didn't respond" mean? Do you have pain? Do you have swelling? Do you have a thrombophilia? Do you have paget-schroetter syndrome? Have you had surgery? Your question really can't be answered specifically without more information and an examination. You need to talk it over with your doctor.

Possibles: The response to warfarin is stopping progression of clots. The existing clot- DVT in subclavian will resorb over time and leave a scarred vein on duplex scan, or over time collaterals will take over and swelling decrease. The arm may still swell, tire, be uncomfortable with arm exercizes or work or effort.
