A 32‐year‐old male with arterial thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) underwent endovascular treatment for the chronic total occlusive lesion from the subclavian to the brachial artery after resection of the first rib and cervical rib. A combined endovascular and surgical treatment represents an attractive alternative to the traditional surgical approach for the treatment of complicated arterial TOS. (J Card Surg 2011;26:309‐312)
