    Author: Abet D, Neveu P, Ringot PL, Burnay J, Vermynck JP, Brié A, Pietri J.
    Journal: J Mal Vasc; 1983; 8(2):179-82. PubMed ID: 6875401.
    Abstract:
    Anatomical, etiopathogenic, clinical, and paraclinical aspects of vascular complication of cervical rib are discussed based on findings in 15 cases. Emphasis is placed on the value of newly available non-invasive functional tests, such as computerized angiography and particularly ultrasonography, which can modify surgical conduct. Operative technique is described, and indications for surgery and short- and long-term results obtained presented. Evaluation of results reported in the literature shows that they were excellent in 75 to 93% of cases, recent studies indicating an even higher rate of improvement.
