We sought to determine long term functional outcomes using the QuickDASH survey in patients with TOS who underwent rib resection. METHODS Clinical records for patients who underwent rib resection for TOS at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were contacted via telephone and long-term functional outcome was assessed at latest follow-up via the 11-item version of the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire. Demographics, TOS type, pre-operative QuickDASH score, and athletic status were recorded. Patients were asked if they returned to baseline activity since their surgery, would have the procedure again, and if they were subjectively better postoperatively. RESULTS From 2000-2018, 261 patients underwent rib resection surgery. 170 (65.1%) were able to be contacted via telephone for long-term follow-up. A total of 188 surgeries (102 nTOS, 82 vTOS, 4 aTOS) were performed in these 170 patients. The mean follow-up time for the cohort was 5.3 years (range 1-18). Overall, 167 (88.9%) of patients returned to baseline activity post-operatively. Postop quickdash decreased to 12 from 44 pre-operatively for the cohort. CONCLUSION First rib resection and thoracic outlet decompression for all forms of TOS is a durable surgical treatment which results in excellent long term functional outcomes as determined by both the QuickDASH score and subjective patient reporting. PURPOSE To evaluate early/mid-term outcomes of a specific configuration of bridging stentgraft - i.e. distal self-expandable stent-graft (SE) combined with proximal balloon (BE) expandable one - in hostile renal arteries (RAs) anatomy in branched thoracoabdomi
