Thoracic outlet syndromes is a great masquerader and often mistaken for a variety of other health conditions including cervical radiculopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injury or even multiple sclerosis. It has several causes which account for the variety of its clinical presentations. Because of this, the diagnosis is commonly delayed or diagnosed incorrectly. Yet, it’s crucial to establish an early and accurate diagnosis as this can prevent potential progression of neurologic damage or in some cases life-threatening vascular complications. It also prevents unnecessary treatments and inappropriate interventions. The topic for this podcast is “Thoracic Outlet Syndrome” and my guests include Ryan Meverden, PA-C, a physician assistant in the Vascular Center at the Rochester campus of the Mayo Clinic and Sam Farres, M.D., Division Chair of Vascular Surgery at the Florida campus of the Mayo Clinic. As we discuss thoracic outlet syndrome, we’ll review the variety of presenting symptoms, potential complications, appropriate tests to evaluate patients and effective management strategies.
