Abstract
- A 21 year old male patient was admitted for pain, edema and a tingling sensation in his right arm. He underwent venography and an MRI scan, and he was diagnosed with Paget-Schroetter syndrome. Thoracoscopic first rib resection was performed after failure of thrombolytic therapy. The symptoms were relieved after the operation and he was discharged with warfarin medication. First rib resection is generally performed through the standard transaxillary or supraclavicular route. We report here on a successful thoracoscopic first rib resection.
