Overview
- Based on pathophysiology of the Paget-Schroetter disease, extrinsic compression and endothelial damage to the vein are among the underlying problems that should be addressed. While thrombolysis only treats acute symptoms, correction surgery for patients who have anatomical problems decreases the recurrence.[1]
- Correction surgery involves both thoracic outlet decompression and restoration of vein patency.[2]
Surgery
- Lee et al. used a treatment approach started with catheter-directed thrombolysis. Correction surgery employed for patients with either persistence symptoms or recurrent thrombosis. This study delineates that after mean of 13 months follow up, less than 25% of patients required further surgical interventions. [3]
- Correction surgery involves both thoracic outlet decompression and restoration of vein patency.[2]
- J. Ernesto Molina, MD, a vascular surgeon at the University of Minnesota, has expressed the following opinion:[4]
- "The current acceptable treatment for that condition is lytic therapy followed by surgery. The patients were followed up to investigate the rate of recurrence. However, if surgery is not done, the problem will invariably recur. If patients are treated with only anticoagulants and even thrombolytics but no surgery, I expect the recurrence rate to be high."
- "Most patients who suffer this condition do not have any abnormality in their coagulation mechanism" and in fact suffer from "A direct injury to the endothelium,"
- "Treatment for Paget-Schroetter syndrome entails the use of thrombolytics followed by surgery to decompress the thoracic inlet and widening of the vein, usually with a vein patch."
- Some studies suggest the importance of surgical decompression, since one third of participants who did not underwent surgical decompression experienced re-thrombosis within 30 days.
- Thoracic Outlet Decompression(TOD) applies to first rib and scalenus muscles resection in addition to correction of the costoclavicular ligaments or other abnormalities.[5]
- Urschel and Razzuk manifested 95% good outcome in 199 patients with Paget-Schroetter disease who treated with thrombolysis and first rib resection and have been followed for 20 years.[6]
- Molina et al. reported 5 years of 100% vein patency and complete symptom resolution in patients who treated with thrombolysis and first rib resection.[7]

- There are two approaches for Thoracic Outlet Decompression(TOD):
- Transaxillary approach:
- Quite easier approach.[9]
- Anterior or infraclavicular approach:
- Some studies support this approach as it is capable of better vein repair, since it provides better access to the proximal subclavian and innominate veins.[10]
- Transaxillary approach:
- There are some reported complications of Thoracic Outlet Decompression(TOD):
- Pneumothorax
- Bleeding
- Nerve injury
- Arterial injury
