title: Effort thrombosis: effective treatment with vascular stent after unrelieved venous stenosis following a surgical release procedure.
abstract: Acute symptomatic effort thrombosis in a 33-year-old male necessitated an aggressive approach consisting of thrombolysis, angioplasty, and surgical thoracic outlet release. The patient required postoperative placement of a Wallstent and was placed on anticoagulation. He has remained symptom free for the past 10 months, both clinically and sonographically.
