Default likeliest area of compression?

often wondered what areas are the most likely to be where vascular and neurogenic compression are taking place? Since some tos specialists have performed thousands of tos decompressions and been inside the various areas and seen first hand ,how helpful and informative if these results could be gathered and quantified.Correlating this info could be helpful in aiming imaging devices and interpreting raw data from emgs and ncs etc.I have a vascular surgeon who tells me he only does the rib resection to attack tos, when one considers some other areas the scalene muscles ,overdeveloped musclature in the chest area and so on that could be the root cause this doctors simplistic approach seems doomed to failure in many cases.

any thoughts??
