I have THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME. Do I need a PS with experience with patients with TOS?

Asked By:poodlex3 in Oklahoma City, OK

I have had 3 sets, saline in '79, then double lumen in '84, then Mentor Siltex in the 90's. I had neurological issues with my hands in 83, and after was diagnosed recently with TOS. The vascular surgeon thinks that explant might help before considering the more drastic TOS surgery. Do I need to seek out a PS who has experience with women with TOS? Will there be 3 capsules to remove? I want to have explant one time.
