Has anyone had a successful reop? My scalenes were not removed, only a portion of the first rib.

I think I've read some of you posts. You have VTOS right? If so, partial rib resection woulnd't completely help you. It helps more for ATOS and NTOS because the neurovascular bundle is more posterior. The vein are more in the front, you would need a complete removal of the first rib from the sternal notch. Do a google image search for reference.
