Half of these patients will be asymptomatic. Venous Thoracic Outlet syndrome in hemodialysis (hdTOS) is part of this spectrum of disease. The extrinsic mechanical compression of the subclavian vein at the costoclavicular triangle between the clavicle and 1st rib results in an area of external compression with a predisposition to intrinsic mural disease in the vein. The enhanced flow induced by the presence of a distal arteriovenous access in all patients exacerbates the subclavian vein\u2019s response to ongoing extrinsic and intrinsic injury. Repeated endovascular interventions during the maintenance of vascular access accelerates chronic untreatable occlusion of the subclavian vein in the long term. Similar to patients with central venous stenosis, patients with hdTOS can present immediately after access formation with ipsilateral edema or longitudinally with episodes of access dysfunction. hdTOS can be treated in an escalating manner with arteriovenous access flow reduction to &amp;lt;1,500\u2005ml\/min, endovascular management, surgical decompression by first rib resection in healthy patients and medial clavicle resection in less healthy patients followed by secondary venous interventions, or finally, a venous bypass. hdTOS represents a complex and evolving therapeutic conundrum for the dialysis community, and additional clinical investigations to establish robust algorithms are required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2023.1149644","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,22]],"date-time":"2023-03-22T06:12:05Z","timestamp":1679465525000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Venous thoracic outlet syndrome and hemodialysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Mark G.","family":"Davies","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph P.","family":"Hart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"360","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ackd.2009.06.003","article-title":"Central vein stenosis: current concepts","volume":"16","author":"Agarwal","year":"2009","journal-title":"Adv Chr Kidney Dis"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"339","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4471-4366-6_49","volume-title":"Anatomy and pathophysiology of VTOS.
