Sanders, MD,a and Sharon L. Hammond, MD,a,b Denver, Colo Background: Unilateral arm swelling caused by subclavian vein obstruction without thrombosis is an uncommon form of venous thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). In 87 patients with venous TOS, only 21 patients had no thrombosis. We describe the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Material and Methods: Twenty-one patients with arm swelling, cyanosis, and venograms demonstrating partial subclavian vein obstruction were treated with transaxillary first rib resection and venolysis. Results: Eighteen (86%) of 21 patients had good-to-excellent improvement of symptoms. There were two failures (9%). Conclusions: Unilateral arm swelling without thrombosis, when not caused by lymphatic obstruction, may be due to subclavian vein compression at the costoclavicular ligament because of compression either by that ligament or the subclavius tendon most often because of congenital close proximity of the vein to the ligament. Arm symptoms of neurogenic TOS, pain, and paresthesia often accompany venous TOS while neck pain and headache, other common symptoms of neurogenic TOS, are infrequent. Diagnosis was made by dynamic venography. First rib resection, which included the anterior portion of rib and cartilage plus division of the costoclavicular ligament and subclavius tendon, proved to be effective treatment.

This review details the diagnostic testing required to differentiate among the associated conditions and recommends appropriate medical or surgical treatment for each compression syndrome. The long- term outcomes of patients with TOS and pectoralis minor syndrome also vary and depend on duration of symptoms before initiation of physical therapy and surgical intervention. Overall, it can be expected that 480% of patients with these compression syndromes can experience functional improvement of their upper extremity; higher for arterial and venous TOS than for neurogenic compression. & 2015 Published by Elsevier Inc. 1.

It is a very rare syndrome resulting from anatomical abnormalities of the thoracic outlet, causing thrombosis of the deep veins draining the upper extremity. This disease is also called “effort thrombosis― because of increased association with vigorous and repetitive upper extremity activities. Symptoms include severe upper extremity pain and swelling after strenuous activity. A 31-year-old female with a history of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome, two prior thrombectomies, and right first rib resection presented with symptoms of loss of blood sensation, dull pain in the area, and sharp pain when coughing/sneezing. When the patient had her first blood clot, physical exam was notable for swelling, venous distension, and skin discoloration. The patient had her first thrombectomy in her right upper extremity a couple weeks after the first clot was discovered. Thrombolysis with TPA was initiated, and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy with angioplasty of the axillary and subclavian veins was performed. Almost immediately after the thrombectomy, the patient had a rethrombosis which was confirmed by ultrasound.

Abstract: In thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) the narrowing between bony and muscular structures in the region of the thoracic outlet/inlet results in compression of the neurovascular bundle to the upper extremity. Venous compression, resulting in TOS (vTOS) is much more common than a stenosis of the subclavian artery (aTOS) with or without an aneurysm. Traditional open surgical approaches to remove the first rib usually lack good exposure of the entire rib and the neurovascular bundle. Between January 2015 and July 2021, 24 consecutive first rib resections for venous or arterial TOS Citation: Zehnder, A.; Lutz, J.; Dorn, were performed in 23 patients at our institutions.

  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: First Rib Resection by Video-Thoracoscopy Using Two Ports
    6 Surgical Technique Page 1 of 6 Thoracic outlet syndrome: first rib resection by video-thoracoscopy using two ports Ignacio Sastre, Manuel España, Roberto Ceballos, Mario Eduardo Francisco Bustos Thoracic Surgery Department, Hospital Privado Universitario de Cordoba, Cordoba, Argentina Correspondence to: Ignacio Sastre. Hospital Privado Universitario de Cordoba, Av Naciones Unidas 346, CP 5000, Cordoba, Argentina. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is defined as the set of signs and symptoms due to compression of the neural and vascular structures that cross the opening of the upper thorax. It can involve the brachial plexus, subclavian artery and vein. Treatment can be medical or surgical. The latter is indicated when conservative management fails and is based on decompression of the compromised structures by resection of the first rib, scalenotomy and resection of the cervical rib, if present. Open extrathoracic approaches have been used over time. Ohtsuka et al. described the first endoscopic approach for resection of the first rib and since then the videothoracoscopic technique has been optimized, finding several fully endoscopic approaches in the literature. We present our video-assisted surgical technique with 2 ports. We have been performing this technique for several years and each patient who will undergo surgery is evaluated in a multidisciplinary way, with neurologists, vascular doctors and orthopedists. The main advantages of this technique have been in the illumination and the magnified view from the video-camera. Visualization of the full length of the first rib and the neurovascular bundle is excellent and there is no need to retract any of the elements of the neurovascular bundle, therefore eliminating the risk of brachial plexus injury.

While consensus in diagnostic criteria has not yet been established, a thorough patient history, physical exam, and appropriate imaging studies are helpful in diagnosis.
