“…5,6 TOS can be divided into three types (arterial type, venous type, and neurogenic type), depending on which structure is predominantly affected. Venous TOS, typically caused by repetitive arm movements, traumatic injuries, and bone anomalies (mainly cervical ribs and clavicular fractures), 7,8 is seen in only 2−3% of TOS patients. 7 In the present case, the pre-…”

The subclavian vein is typically used in cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations. External stress on the subclavian vein can lead to lead‐related complications. There are several causes of this stress, such as frequent upper extremity movements or external injury. Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) can also become the cause of external lead stress. However, the diagnosis of venous TOS can be challenging because subclavian venography can appear normal at first glance. We present a unique case of a device infection in a patient with venous TOS. A careful observation of the imaging studies is vital for diagnosing venous TOS and a leadless pacemaker implantation could be an alternative therapeutic option.

The current literature review article describes the anatomy and pathogenesis of the vascular nature of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), as well as gathers the latest and most important information concerning its diagnostic methods and treatment. This syndrome's subcategory includes the venous and the arterial. Data for this review was accumulated through the PubMed database in which only scientific studies published in the last decade (2012-2022) were searched. PubMed offered 347 results, of which 23 were judged suitable and used.Non-invasive methods both for the diagnosis and the treatment of vascular TOS are gaining ground. Medicine, at this point, finds itself on the verge of slowly putting aside the previous invasive gold-standard methods, to be used only in the most urgent situations. The vascular thoracic outlet condition is a rare form of TOS but is also the most trouble-causing one and the deadliest. Fortunately, it can be more efficiently managed because of the current medical innovations. However, further research is needed to establish their already confirmed effectiveness, so they can be even more widely trusted and used.

Thoracic outlet syndrome results from neurovascular compression at the thoracic outlet. Clinical presentation varies according to the predominantly compressed structure, determining its subtype: neurogenic, venous, or arterial. The neurogenic subtype is the most common, affecting 90% of patients, while the vascular subtype is rarely found in practice. We present two case reports of young patients with upper extremity deep vein thrombosis in the setting of venous thoracic outlet syndrome: one due to an anatomic variant, the second an effort thrombosis due to repeated upper arm exercise. These reports depict uncommon clinical scenarios, which imply significant morbidity if not identified and timely treated.
