JACC Case Rep. 2024 May 13;29(12):102338. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102338. eCollection 2024 Jun 19.

ABSTRACT

We present a case of venous thoracic outlet syndrome involving upper extremity venous thrombosis confirmed by hyperabduction during balloon inflation in the subclavian vein. This provocative test provides clear evidence of extrinsic venous compression, confirming venous thoracic outlet syndrome.
