title: Nine-year Follow-up of a Patient with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Paget-Schroetter Syndrome.
abstract: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a challenging clinical condition with regards to its diagnosis and treatment. Its management may turn out to be challenging a case when an adverse complication such as Paget-Schroetter syndrome (PSS) also co-exists. Herein, we report a nine-year follow-up of a patient with TOS (a 41-year old cardiovascular surgeon) who had suffered multiple PSS episodes and repeat TOS surgeries. In essence, we want to highlight the diverse clinical indings of TOS and discuss its management in light of the relevant literature.
