Article Abstract
Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) is characterized by the compression of the brachial plexus in the thoracic outlet region, caused by various etiologies. We report a case with clinical symptoms and imaging findings from ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of NTOS due to an elongated C7 transverse process and a fibrous band of the middle scalene muscle, which was confirmed in decompression surgery.

: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of a modified réparation à l'étage ventriculaire (REV) and the Rastelli repair for ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction without ventriculoarterial concordance. : The study included 100 consecutive patients who underwent a modified REV ( = 50) or Rastelli repair ( = 50) for transposition of the great arteries, double outlet right ventricle, or double outlet left ventricle with VSD and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction. The mean ages of the patients who underwent the modified REV and Rastelli repair were 2.

Aims: Non-pharmacological therapies for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock have evolved considerably in recent decades. Short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices can be used as circulatory backup. While nearly all available devices use continuous flow, evidence indicates that pulsatile flow can be more effective.

This report discusses a case of a 33-year-old healthy woman who presented with upper extremity swelling and pain, which she attributed to an injury sustained during her work as a professional dancer. Given her persistent symptoms, she was eventually referred to the emergency room for evaluation of possible thrombosis. She was found to have an elevated D-dimer, and a CT angiogram of the chest revealed narrowing of the bilateral subclavian veins suggestive of venous thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS).

Introduction: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is characterized by the positional compression of the brachial plexus and/or subclavian vessels in the cervico-thoraco-brachial region, unilaterally or bilaterally. The functional impact is currently assessed by questionnaires that do not allow side-specific assessment. The Mobility of Arm Score (MASC) questionnaire was designed to be short and assess the functional impact of suspected TOS, emphasizing dynamic tasks and side-specific evaluations.

A 41-year-old woman with a 1-year history of right chest pain, with normal cardiology and pulmonology assessments. The chest pain was reproducible upon upper limb elevation. Computed tomography (CT) angiography in the arm-elevated position revealed subclavian artery and vein stenosis at the costoclavicular space, and the diagnosis was neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS).
