Heather,
 
We have never treated cephalic clots.  It is a superficial vein and often times gets clotted from peripheral IV's.  We don' even treat basilic clots, only brachials.  I would think that since the basilic is healthy and if the brachials are patent, that you would be fine to leave it.  Any edema in the extremity?
