title: [Angiographic positions for thoracic outlet syndrome].
abstract: Thirty four patients (18 males and 16 females, 54 lesions) with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) were studied with conventional angiography. Angiography in the supine position did not confirm subclavian artery compression in 43.4% of patients. Lordotic position or upright position was useful for demonstration of subclavian artery compression in patients who did not show any findings in conventional techniques.
