1. Methods The clinical data of 5 cases with thoracic outlet syndrome treated surgically were reviewed.

2. This patient was initially diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and presented with excruciating pain and numbness in right shoulder, arm and fingers, and positive elevated arm stress test (EAST).

3. Objective To investigate treatment outcome of thoracic outlet syndrome in conjunction with distal nerve compression at the same stage.

4. Objective To modify the operation method for thoracic outlet syndrome based on the anatomic dissection and clinical analysis.

5. Objective: Thoracic outlet syndrome ( TOS ) is one of the most controversial clinical entities in medicine.

6. Conclusion:Small needle knife for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome of upper plexus type has such advantages as mini-wound, simple operative procedure, and reliable effect.

7. Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) in thoracic outlet syndrome(TOS).

8. Objective To analyze the clinical manifestation and etiology of thoracic outlet syndrome ( TOS ).

9. CONCLUSION:Nerve electrophysiological examination is of important significance to diagnose thoracic outlet syndrome.

10. We suggest that traditional Chinese medicine be considered an alternative therapy for thoracic outlet syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome.

11. Objective : To explore the value of CDFI for assessing thoracic outlet syndrome ( TOS ).

12. Because of the unique anatomy of this location, change of position or modified anatomic structure after previous trauma may induce thoracic outlet syndrome.

13. Various surgical approaches have been proposed for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome ( TOS )./thoracic outlet syndrome.html

14. Therefore, change of the patient's position on MDCTA study is very important in evaluation of thoracic outlet syndrome.

15. OBJECTIVE: To study diagnostic significance of electrophysiological examination to thoracic outlet syndrome.

16. Conclusions: The contraction of the posterior components of the anterior and middle scalene muscle may be the main reason of the upper trunk thoracic outlet syndrome.

17. Objective To summarize first rib resection by transaxillary approach for treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome.

18. Objective To compare the result of Mynal and local block in treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome.

19. Conclusions The transaxillary approach for first rib resection is less traumatic, lower in recurrent rate, with concealed incision for treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome.

20. Objective:To study therapeutic effects of manipulative upper and middle cervical vertebra in the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome at earlier period.

21. Objective:To study therapeutic effects of small needle knife for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome of upper plexus type.
