J Vasc Surg 41:285-90. 2005..In 87 patients with venous TOS, only 21 patients had no thrombosis. We describe the diagnosis and treatment of these patients...
Recurrent neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome stressing the importance of pectoralis minor syndromeRichard J Sanders
Department of Surgery, University of Colorado, CO, USA
Vasc Endovascular Surg 45:33-8. 2011..Similarly, NPMS has also been observed in the majority of patients with recurrent NTOS. This study explores the role of pectoralis minor tenotomy (PMT) in patients with recurrent NTOS...
