We present a novel index for evaluating severity of airway-threatening thoracic inlet compromise in childhood. Two indices were validated in three cases and sixty asymptomatic controls. We developed an index to determine severity of thoracic inlet narrowing. Two different measurement methods were evaluated Thoracic Inlet Index (TII) was determined at the site of greatest airway compromise at the level of the innominate artery crossing the anterior trachea and TII (anatomic) using purely skeletal measurements, both determined from tho
