    Author: Casey RG, Richards S, O'Donohoe M.
    Journal: Br J Sports Med; 2003; 37(5):455-6. PubMed ID: 14514542.
    Abstract:
    The case is reported of a 32 year old woman with acute on chronic upper limb ischaemia due to thrombus from a cervical rib that had compressed the right subclavian artery of her dominant hand after use of a rowing machine. If not detected early, this condition can be debilitating especially in the young. A multidisciplinary approach is advisable to ensure a satisfactory outcome.
