434 top medical experts on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome across 42 countries and 34 U.S. states, including 374 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: A neurovascular syndrome associated with compression of the brachial plexus; subclavian artery; and subclavian vein at the superior thoracic outlet. This may result from a variety of anomalies such as a cervical RIB, anomalous fascial bands, and abnormalities of the origin or insertion of the anterior or medial scalene muscles. Clinical features may include pain in the shoulder and neck region which radiates into the arm, paresis or paralysis of brachial plexus innervated muscles, paresthesia, loss of sensation, reduction of arterial pulses in the affected extremity, ischemia, and edema. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp214-5).
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): Nerve Compression Syndromes (4,497), Vascular Diseases (4,192) and Narrower Categories: Cervical Rib Syndrome (70).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 17 including 2 Active, 4 Completed, 3 Recruiting
  5. Synonyms: Costoclavicular Syndrome,  Thoracic Outlet Neurovascular Syndrome,  Scalenus Anticus Syndrome,  Thoracic Outlet Nerve Compression Syndrome
