“…Many adolescents will describe repetitive and vigorous activity such as competitive sports or instrumental performance. Noteworthy, adolescents also seem to present more frequently with venous or arterial TOS than adults [17]. FRRS has been safely and successfully performed in this population with a rapid return to their busy lives.…”

The diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome was once debated in the world of vascular surgery. Today, it is more understood and surprisingly less infrequent than once thought. Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is composed of three types: neurogenic, venous, and arterial. Each type is in distinction to the others when considering patient presentation and diagnosis. Remarkable advances have been made in surgical approach, physical therapy, and rehabilitation of these patients. Dedicated centers of excellence with multidisciplinary teams have been developed and continue to lead the way in future research.

“…In our study, Mean age is 37 years [5,[6][7][8], 58.6% were male, in contrast to common belief that females are more commonly affected. In a report by Adson [9] it was 72% were women and 23% were men.…”

“…The arterial Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (aTOS) forms less than 1% of cases, but the morbidity and mortality is severe that warrants immediate attention and management. The syndrome is caused by the cervical rib or anomalous first rib eliminating the space under the subclavian artery [2,3]. This external compression results in repeated trauma in the intima of subclavian artery, resulting in subclavian stenosis, thrombosis, aneurysm formation with mural thrombus and distal embolisation.…”

Upper extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis (UEDVT) is frequent in the hospital, especially in the intensive care unit. It often complicates the placement of central venous catheters (CVC), notably peripherally inserted central (PICC) lines. Despite a lower rate of pulmonary embolism, UEDVT is as fatal as lower extremity DVT. This is due to its strong association with cancer. Symptoms are often absent, but systematic screening is not recommended. The best prophylaxis is good central catheter management. Pharmacological prophylaxis has questionable effectiveness in the prophylaxis of CVC-associated UEDVT. Compression ultrasonography is the first line diagnostic tool. Treatment is anticoagulation for at least 3 months. A causative central line should be removed as soon as clinically possible. Infrequently, patients with the thoracic outlet syndrome can get an effort related primary UEDVT. It is also known as the Paget-Schroetter syndrome. Along with anticoagulation, surgical referral for decompression of the thoracic outlet is then necessary. The current state of evidence on UEDVT is rather poor, due to the absence of large randomized controlled trials.
