TOS: You could try a neurologist or orthopedic surgeon...But generally best managed by a thoracic surgeon (heart surgeon). Not all thoracic surgeons manage thoracic outlet though so you must ask around. Good luck.

VASCULAR SURGEON: In most parts of usa, the experts in tos come from vascular surgery backgrounds, but a few of us neurologists also deal with this. Places to go include ucla, psl in denver, washingon univ in st louis, johns hopkins univ, and perhaps univ of vancouver. Maybe best bet is to phone dr richard sanders at 303-388-6461, and get further information.
