Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome is a rare cause of shoulder pain due to compression of the subclavian or axillary artery within the thoracic outlet . It is the least common form of thoracic outlet syndrome but is potentially dangerous as it can result in significant morbidity . An athlete initially may present with exertional pain , early fatigability , a dull ache , or discomfort in the affected arm . History and physical examination are paramount in diagnosis , and imaging confirms the anatomy . Surgical repair or resection alleviates the compression of the affected structure and allows for a safe return to participation . Familiarity with this condition aids in the prompt diagnosis and treatment of this disorder .
