These have specific guidelines about how to exam patients, make a diagnosis, and objective data to consider when recommending surgery for nTOS patients. #jvscittweetchat

We also do a venogram within 2 weeks after surgery. Always venoplasty after rib removal, there are frequently webs left even thought the vein looks ok on 2D venography. #jvscittweetchat

I like to get a CT; most of my oncology colleagues get MRIs. If there is venous involvement, duplex to see if the veins are patent or can be taken without reconstruction.

We will get a duplex to determine if we can avoid a venous reconstruction. For patients where the vein is already occluded, it makes the surgery easier.

Do you worry about healing if they are going to get radiation? That's always the hard part.

On occasion, if the cross-sectional imaging is not able to delineate all the detailed info, but we have not needed to do it much. Randall DeMartino Sharif Ellozy Vascular SVS Jill Colglazier

Depends on the extent of the resection. I try not to use a prosthetic with any bowel or urologic resection. In big abdomen vessels, cryopreserved vessels work well since they are resistant to infection.
