Midterm and long‐term follow‐up in competitive athletes undergoing thoracic outlet decompression for neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Vascular Surgery"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2017.06.108
Abstract: Background: Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) results from compression of the brachial plexus by the clavicle, first rib, and scalene muscles and may develop secondary to repetitive motion of the upper extremity. Athletes routinely perform… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2018.01.057
Abstract: Objective: The transaxillary approach to thoracic outlet decompression in the presence of cervical ribs offers the advantage of less manipulation of the brachial plexus and associated nerves. This may result in reduced incidence of perioperative… read more here.
