Dr. Gelabert's note to my insurance company said, "Based alone on MRA showing greater than 95% compression of subclavian artery, the diagnosis of ATOS is confirmed and surgery is warranted as soon as possible."
Have you have MRA/MRV imaging done? Im sure there are more that others can add, but that was my case.
