AB  - Venous  thoracic  outlet  syndrome  (vTOS)  is  a  condition  characterized  by  thrombosis  of  the  axillo-subclavian  vein  due  primarily  to  extrinsic  compression  of  the  structures  of  the  thoracic  outlet  as  the  vein  drains  into  the  chest.  This  results  in  arm  swelling  and  pain,  often  with  bluish  and  purplish  discoloration.  Acute  primary  axillo-subclavian  vein  thrombosis  was  first  defined  in  the  late  1800s1,2  and  bears  the  eponym  Paget–Schroetter  Syndrome.
