Venous thoracic outlet syndrome: approach to diagnosis and treatment with focus on affected athletes.
[thoracic outlet syndrome]
Venous
thoracic
outlet
syndrome
is
a
relatively
rare
condition
.
One
variety
that
is
related
to
effort
,
often
referred
to
as
Paget
-
Schroetter
syndrome
,
is
seen
more
often
in
persons
who
are
athletic
or
occupationally
active
.
This
condition
can
have
significant
morbidity
if
left
untreated
.
Diagnosis
is
best
undertaken
with
duplex
ultrasound
or
venogram
.
The
current
standard
for
treatment
includes
catheter-directed
thrombolysis
with
surgical
correction
of
the
thoracic
outlet
and
subclavian
vein
with
some
variability
of
this
depending
upon
the
presentation
.
Some
cases
may
require
anticoagulation
for
approximately
12
wk
.
Return
to
play
should
be
expected
in
successfully
corrected
cases
that
include
a
collaborative
rehabilitation
program
.
