Abstract

Subclavian vein thrombosis in thoracic outlet syndrome is an uncommon disease. Thrombolysis, venoplasty with a balloon and stent insertion are needed for treating this condition. Sometimes, trans-axillary first rib resection is also needed. We report here on a case of subclavian vein thrombosis that was successfully treated with the medial calviculectomy, internal jugular vein transposition and stent insertion.
