An observational study in Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, sponsored by University Hospital, Angers. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-01-27.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Angers · Observational
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is characterized by nervous, venous or arterial symptoms resulting from a compression of the thoracic bundle in the thoracic outlet. The diagnostic approach of TOS is still controversial. The investigating team is interested in arterial TOS and have already been able to demonstrate the presence of arm ischemia during dynamic maneuvers using transcutaneous oximetry (TcpO2). The correlation between the measurement of TcpO2 during dynamic maneuvers and the vascular compression type (arterial, venous or both) will be evaluated. The evaluation the correlation between TcpO2 and degree of arterial compression observed in dynamic arteriography (considered as a gold standard examination) will be calculated too. The use of TcpO2 could be developed in the diagnosis assessment of TOS.
33 studies on the registry are indexed under Thoracic Outlet Syndrome; 12 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 200 is above the median of 84 across 16 observational studies indexed under Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Patient presenting to the vascular medicine department with suspected thoracic outlet syndrome.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who came for the diagnosis of TOS
Diagnostic Test: Transcutaneous oximetry
Comparison of the TcpO2 values recorded during dynamic maneuver with the estimated rate of compression of the subclavian and axillary vessels determined on dynamic angiography.
DROPmin according on the type of compression
Variation in upper limb ischemia is estimated by TcpO2 measurement and calculating of the DROPmin (TcpO2 variation regarding a reference) depending on the type of damage (arterial, venous, or both arterial and venous). DROP is Decrease Rest of Oxygen Pressure
Time frame: thirty minutes
DROPmin according on the degree of arterial stenosis
To assess the correlation between the severity of upper limb ischemia by TcpO2 measurement and the degree of arterial stenosis observed in diagnostic arteriography.
Time frame: thirty minutes
