Not sure I completely understand what you've written. If the angiogram and doppler were able to confirm vascular compression at the first rib, why wouldn't those same diagnostics be able to confirm compression at the pec minor?

The doppler is a dynamic test. You move your arm during the test and they can see the loss of blood flow and get a sense for where the compression is. The CT angiogram is completed laying flat with the arm in a neutral position, and was used to evaluate aneurysms.
