    AbstractThirty-three patients were examined by color-coded Doppler ultrasound of the thoracoaxillary region or upper arm to review the utility of the method in this local area. The subclavian artery and vein were identified in all but one patient, in whom the subclavian vein was occluded and collateral vessels had developed. Masses and foreign bodies were easily distinguished from vascular abnormalities. Sonographic cephalic/basilic vein mapping was effective in seven patients. Carotid subclavian grafts were noted and evaluated appropriately in two patients. Color-coded sonography offered advantages in speed of localization of vessels and visual assessment of vessel location, direction of flow, turbulence, relationship to adjacent soft tissues, and detection of collateralization. Foreign body detection was not enhanced by color coding.
