Abstract

Venous thoracic outlet syndrome is a disease process characterized by mechanical compression of the axillosubclavian vein as it exits the thoracic outlet. This chapter will review management considerations of venous thoracic outlet syndrome with respect to the efficacy of pre-operative thrombolysis. To date, clinical experience strongly favors surgical decompression of extrinsic compression of the subclavian-axillary vein, with adjunctive use of thrombolysis being a matter of some controversy.
