Resumen: Triathlon followers increase each year and long-distance events have seen major growth worldwide. In the cycling
phase, athletes must maintain an aerodynamic posture on the bike for long periods of time. We report a
case of a 38-year-old triathlete with symptoms of an axillary vein thrombosis 48 h after a long triathlon competition.
After 3 days of hospitalizationwith a treatment consisted on enoxaparin anticoagulant and acenocumarol,
the patient was discharged with instructions to continue treatment under home hospitalization with acetaminophen.
Four weeks after the process, the patient was asymptomatic and the diameter of his armwas near normality.
Due to the growing popularity of events based on endurance exercise, it is necessary more research to
determine the etiopathogeny of deep venous thrombosis in athletes.
