90 Section 7: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
RATIONALE 1–8
1. RATIONALE
The thoracic outlet region is composed of three anatomic spaces: The scalene triangle, the costoclavicular space, and the pectoralis minor space. The neurovascular bundle, which consists
of the subclavian artery, subclavian vein, and brachial plexus, courses from the scalene triangle
to the costoclavicular space and through the pectoralis minor space. Neurogenic thoracic
outlet syndrome results from brachial plexus compression, which leads to neurological symptoms involving the upper extremity. Abnormal anatomy of the thoracic outlet region, as well
as injuries and repetitive physical activities, can predispose a patient to the development of
thoracic outlet syndrome. Because of the lack of objective criteria for neurogenic thoracic outlet
syndrome, it is difficult to diagnose this condition. The presence of a cervical rib and a positive
response to scalene muscle block are reliable indicators for surgery. The decompression can be
performed by a supraclavicular or transaxillary approach, depending on the experience of the
surgeon and the manifestation of thoracic outlet syndrome. Most surgeons prefer the supraclavicular approach in the presence of a cervical rib, but excellent results have also been reported
using transaxillary approach even in the presence of the cervical rib. In patients with a cervical
rib requiring thoracic outlet decompression, scalenectomy, and removal of the first rib as well as
the cervical rib are necessary in order to obtain relief of symptoms.
First cerv ical rib, typically connected by a joint.
Correct Answer C Removal of the first rib, scalenectomy, and removal of cervical rib

Long thoracic nerve injury during decompression of the thoracic outlet may result in paralysis, pain, weakness, and limitation of shoulder elevation. The scapula tends to protrude at an

awkward angle from the body. The patient may benefit from physical and massage therapy
in addition to muscle relaxants and antiinflammatory drugs. Decompression of the thoracic
outlet can be performed by either a supraclavicular or transaxillary approach. During the
supraclavicular exposure, the phrenic nerve is identified in front of the scalenus anticus, and
scalenectomy at its attachment to the first rib is performed, preferably using Mayo scissors,
and the scalenus anticus origin is divided from the C6 transverse process. The brachial plexus
will become apparent after division of the scalenus anticus. It should be brought forward with
gentle retraction to expose the scalenus medius. Before dividing the scalenus medius, the long
thoracic nerve must be identified. This nerve exists at the anterolateral border of the scalenus
medius and courses inferolaterally. The posterior neck of the first rib is exposed with a periosteal elevator. The lateral musculofascial attachments to the first rib are then released anteriorly
from its posterior neck to the scalene tubercle. The pleural apex is bluntly dissected from the
inferior surface of the first rib. With the brachial plexus roots well protected from the neck of the
first rib, which is divided sharply with a bone cutter, the anterior portion of the first rib is then
exposed underneath the clavicle and similarly divided just medial to the level of the scalene
tubercle, with protection of the subclavian vein, artery, and nerve roots. When the cervical rib
is present, it should be resected after the middle scalenectomy is completed. It is exposed at its
posterior origin and the neck of the rib is divided, protecting the origin of the nerve root
(C8 and T1). The proximal end of the first rib is detached from its attachment of the first rib and
removed as a specimen. When the cervical rib is present, it is resected after the middle scalenectomy is completed. It is exposed at its posterior origin and the neck of the rib is divided,
protecting C8 and T1 from injury as the proximal end of the cervical attachment of the rib is
detached from its first rib.
Correct Answer C Long thoracic nerve

3. RATIONALE
Effort-induced axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis, also known as Paget–Schroetter syndrome,
is an underrecognized cause of upper extremity deep venous thrombosis. This represents
venous manifestation of thoracic outlet syndrome, where the underlying cause is the compression of and repetitive injury to the subclavian vein between the first rib and clavicle. In patients
with an acute-to-subacute presentation, restoring the patency of the subclavian vein is of paramount importance and is most rapidly achieved by pharmocomechanical thrombolysis. After
thrombolysis, patients are maintained on systemic anticoagulation to prevent early recurrent
thrombosis. Surgical management of venous thoracic outlet syndrome can be performed by
the transaxillary approach and infraclavicular approach. A paraclavicular approach for venous
thoracic outlet syndrome allows for complete decompression of the thoracic outlet and possible reconstruction of the subclavian vein during the same operation. Following the standard
supraclavicular decompression, complete medial resection of the first rib and external venolysis
of the subclavian vein after thoracic outlet decompression are performed. The decision to perform patch angioplasty or bypass grafting is made using the venogram. Visualization of the vein
and digital palpation, cryopreserved femoral vein grafts, patch angioplasty, or bypass should
be considered, and the patient is anticoagulated with intravenous heparin and continuous

infusion of Dextran. A patient presenting with swelling 6 months after thoracic outlet decompression with long segment chronic occlusion of the subclavian/axillary vein should be managed with compression therapy. In some cases where a long bypass graft is constructed, a
temporary (12 weeks) conjunctive radiocephalic fistula may also be constructed for those at risk
to improve venous flow.

cal approach (pp. 371–376). Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press.
4. RATIONALE
Patients with arterial thoracic outlet syndrome have fixed arterial lesions such as stenosis,
occlusion, or aneurysmal dilatation of the subclavian artery as it passes over the first rib, which
is the least frequent form of thoracic outlet syndrome, representing 1%–3% of all thoracic outlet
syndrome cases. This is usually due to compression by an osseous abnormality such as a cervical rib (70%), whereas anomalous first ribs and a tight ligamentous band or other bony abnormalities account for the rest of the structural anomalies causing compression of the subclavian
artery. Clinical manifestations include arterial ischemia caused by embolic or thrombotic
occlusions. Patients presenting with acute arm ischemia are treated initially with thrombolysis
or surgical thrombectomy depending on the level of the occlusion and type of presentation.
After distal circulation is restored, patients are prepared for thoracic outlet decompression
within a few days of the initial procedure. The operative procedure is similar to the one used for
neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome. The decision to repair the subclavian artery with a bypass
graft versus patch angioplasty depends on the extent of the aneurysm or embolizing lesion
along its course. A paraclavicular approach using a cryopreserved femoral vein graft from the
subclavian artery to axillary artery may be necessary.

5. RATIONALE
Residual neurological symptoms of numbness and tingling in the hand or fingers are common
early after thoracic outlet decompression arising as a result of previous neurological damage,
intraoperative mobilization of the brachial plexus, and postoperative inflammation and perineural wound healing. Spontaneous resolution of such symptoms usually occurs within several
days to weeks but may persist for several months. Some patients with long-standing neurogenic
thoracic outlet syndrome can often display residual symptoms that may not be completely
eliminated by thoracic outlet decompression. In some patients, peri-incisional skin hypersensitivity after the operation may be quite significant, and when combined with hypersensitivity symptoms extending to the upper limb, consideration should be given to the diagnosis of

that are often accompanied by an increase in arm activity and from secondary injury.

6. RATIONALE
Nerve injury after decompression of thoracic outlet syndrome often manifests as persistent
nerve dysfunction over time. In most of these situations, nerve injury rarely presents as an
obvious injury identified in the operating room or as a significant deficit immediately after the
operation, but more often is evident as persistent nerve dysfunction over time. In patients where
the affected nerve was observed to be anatomically intact at the time of surgery, full functional
recovery can be anticipated after several weeks to months. Minimizing handling of the nerves,
dissecting perineural tissue under direct vision, and minimal nerve retraction of individual
nerve roots should be taken under consideration. The presence of a cervical rib or ligamentous
band may displace the brachial plexus much more forward, and scalene muscle abnormalities
(a scalene minimus muscle) and fibroelastic band may obscure the lower nerve root. Division
of the anterior scalene muscle from the first rib should be done with a finger placed between
the muscle and the underlying brachial plexus and subclavian artery using scissors rather than
electrocautery. Prior to resection of the scalene medius, the brachial plexus should also be
mobilized in such a way that all five nerve roots are visible and gently retracted medially. Full
visualization of the T1 nerve root should also be obtained, where it passes underneath the first
rib to join the C8 nerve root before dividing at the posterior neck of the first rib. Although the C8
nerve root typically joins within 1–2 cm of the first rib, one anomaly that can increase the risk of
injury is a long T1 nerve root, which may run for 3–4 cm underneath the first rib before passing
across the bone to join the C8 nerve root. In this setting an unrecognized long T1 nerve root may
be injured by the instrument used to divide the rib, reinforcing the need to divide the rib under
direct vision and protect the C8–T1 junction and lower trunk of the brachial plexus before dividing the posterior portion of the first rib.
Correct Answer D Anatomic variations, intraoperative bleeding, and preoperative repetitive
hyperextension neck trauma

7. RATIONALE
Brachial plexus compression by the pectoralis minor muscle has become increasingly appreciated as a factor contributing to neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome. It has been reported
that up to 10% of patients with neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome exhibit physical findings

94 Section 7: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
that are isolated to the subcoracoid space, and 85%–90% have findings that co-localize to both
the scalene triangle and the subcoracoid space. Even in patients with findings predominately
localized to the scalene triangle, residual nerve compression at the site of the pectoralis minor
muscle may be a source of persistent or recurrent neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome. Simple
division of the pectoralis minor tendon below the coracoid process may provide substantial
relief of brachial plexus compression with minimal addition to the operative procedure.

8. RATIONALE
The primary advantage of the supraclavicular approach is excellent exposure of all the relevant
anatomy, allowing more complete decompression with first rib resection, complete scalenectomy, and thorough brachial plexus neurolysis. This approach is thereby applicable to all three
forms of thoracic outlet syndrome with a transaxillary approach; first rib resection as well as
cervical rib resection can be carried out with a hidden incision. Following decompression, an
upright chest X-ray is performed in the recovery room and a few days after decompression to
detect any air or pleural fluid collection. Postoperative analgesia is initially provided by patientcontrolled intravenous opiates. Continuous-infusion local anesthesia may also be used for several days, administered through small-caliber perfusion catheters placed at the time of surgery.
A closed-suction drain placed at the time of the operation is removed when daily output is less
than 50 cc, usually 5–7 days after supraclavicular decompression. Full activity is permitted after
2–3 months.
Correct Answer B Incision in the hidden axillary space and sufficient exposure for the resection of both the first rib and cervical rib
