Abstract:
May-Thurner syndrome is characterized by unilateral lower extremity venous hypertension and stasis due to compression of an iliac vein between an iliac artery and the lumbar spine. In almost all cases, the left common iliac vein is compressed by the right common iliac artery; however, other patterns have been described. Rarely, May-Thurner syndrome may be created iatrogenically as a result of iliac artery stenting. We present an unusual case of new left common iliac vein thrombosis caused by ipsilateral left iliac artery compression after aortobi-iliac endovascular aneurysm repair.
