Infrequent origin of a peripheral embolism: Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome in a young woman. Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2020 Apr;48(3):309-311 Authors: Keskin B, Balaban İ, Tanyeri S, Karaduman A, Karagöz A Abstract Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is caused by the compression of the subclavian or axillary artery between the ribs and the scalene muscles. Patients may present with various clinical conditions. Herein, we report a case of arterial TOS who presented with peripheral embolism. Arterial TOS is an uncommon cause of peripheral embolism. The diagnostic approach and treatment methods used are discussed. Clinicians should keep this diagnosis in mind and manage these cases according to the clinical appearance.
