Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Center

Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital – Dallas is one of the nation ’ s leading treatment centers for thoracic outlet syndrome ( TOS )— a condition where the nerve , artery and vein between the lower neck and upper chest become compressed , causing pain , numbness and weakness in the upper extremity .

Patients who live with daily disabling symptoms secondary to TOS are offered relief with first rib resection , a surgical procedure offered at Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital – Dallas . The first rib resection procedure involves removing part of the first rib , eliminating the pressure on the thoracic outlet .

Types of TOS disorders and related symptoms treated :

• Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome

• Venous thoracic outlet syndrome

• Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome
