Hybrid Paraclavicular Decompression for Venous Thoracic Outlet Syndrome With Primary Endovascular Reconstruction
Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) is characterized by severe stenosis and potential thrombosis of the axillary-subclavian vein (effort thrombosis) with significant effects on patient mobility, quality of life, and risks associated with possible anticoagulation. Treatment goals are aimed at symptomatic improvement and freedom from recurrent thrombosis. To date, there exists no clear protocols or recommendations on surgical approach that results in optimal outcomes. We highlight our institution ’s experience with a systematized, paraclavicular approach with intraoperative balloon angioplasty only, if needed. (Source: ...

A Single Centre Experience On the Infraclavicular Approach For Venous Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Objective: Multiple surgical approaches exist in performing a first rib resection to treat venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS). This can incorporate a transaxillary, supraclavicular, or an infraclavicular approach. Many studies published in the medical literature have reported on the advantages of the infraclavicular approach. An audit was performed at the present authors ’ centre looking at the outcomes of the infraclavicular approach for vTOS decompression. (Source: EJVES Extra)

Giant Subclavian Artery Aneurysm: a Case Report
Objective: Subclavian artery aneurysms (SAA) are a very uncommon form of aneurysmal disease, being estimated to be around 1% of all peripheral aneurysms. Most of them are due to atherosclerosis, but they can also be related to trauma, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), and in rarer cases infections, cystic medial necrosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, or connective tissue disorders. About 70 – 75% of SAA are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, but they can also be associated with symptoms such as painful mass, compression, haemorrhage, or ischaemic events.

The role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in surgical planning for thoracic outlet syndrome: the experience of a single third level reference center for peripheral nerve surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Prescribing both investigations in selected patients increases the probability of finding anatomic anomalies and facilitates preoperative planning. However, as the radiological images are not completely exhaustive, the surgeon should always actively search and remove any potential source of compression on the nervous vascular bundle along the thoracic outlet.PMID:36789552 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2177809 (Source: Neurological Research)
