  • Title: Continuing experience with transaxillary excision of the first rib for thoracic outlet syndrome.
    Author: Carty NJ, Carpenter R, Webster JH.
    Journal: Br J Surg; 1992 Aug; 79(8):761-2. PubMed ID: 1393464.
    Abstract:
    The results of transaxillary excision of the first rib for thoracic outlet syndrome are reported. During a 3-year period, 40 transaxillary rib resections were performed on 32 patients. The symptoms in 33 limbs were completely relieved and in a further four symptoms were improved. These results confirm that transaxillary excision of the first rib is the operation of choice in the management of thoracic outlet syndrome.
