Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (requiring cervical rib surgery)

Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when nerves or blood vessels are compressed in the space between the collarbone and the first rib. Patients may experience pain, numbness, swelling, weakness, or circulation-related symptoms in the arm and shoulder. In some cases, further vascular evaluation and specialized treatment may be required. At Vascular Specialist Center, we provide expert assessment and management for thoracic outlet syndrome based on the patient’s symptoms and vascular findings.
