Evaluation and Management of Arterial Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome is rare and may be associated with a bony anomaly. Patient presentation can range from mild arm discoloration and claudication to severe limb-threatening ischemia. For patients with subclavian artery dilation without secondary complications, thoracic outlet decompression and arterial surveillance is sufficient. Patients with subclavian artery aneurysms or distal embolization require decompression with reconstruction or thromboembolectomy and distal bypass respectively.
