As I have posted before, I was diagnosed with Paget Schroetter disease or Venous TOS from a Subclavian DVT incident back in the summer.
I have had multiple opinions from Drs that are very familiar with the surgery (rib resection and scalenectomy). There are two docs I feel comfortable with, I am trying to decide which to go with. The first does about 30 of these per year and goes in through the armpit. The second does about 12 per year and goes in through the chest. Any opinions as to which route is better? Also, both Drs say recovery is not too bad, a little painful at first but my pain will be managed well. From what I have read here on this forum it seems they are underestimating the painfulness, yes? |
