People who have the TOS surgery due to a blood clot tend to fare better after surgery than other cases but this doesn't always hold true. I mentioned the people I'm aware of who've had surgery for blood clots whose situation was similar to yours. My surgery was for neurogenic TOS (far more common but less likely to have a good outcome). Hopefully, there is never a need for a 2nd surgery on this side! I do have arterial and neurogenic TOS on the other side from a separate injury and likely having surgery in the next few months.
