Abstract

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) describes a complex disease process with three anatomic variations each with their own individual characteristics. Understanding the prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of TOS is challenging for many providers. For this reason, the establishment of comprehensive care models and expert leadership by dedicated vascular surgeons with TOS experience has been invaluable.
