Sumario:Current methodologies of diagnosing and managing venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) remain controversial, as pertinent studies using modern advancements in medicine are limited. We present a case in which we innovatively used a modified Wright’s test during venography coupled with intravascular ultrasound, which allowed us to definitively determine the etiology of a vTOS. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
