    Iliocaval compression syndrome, a cause of lower extremity venous issues, can be diagnosed using plethysmography and venography. Direct surgical repair with anticoagulation shows promising results for this venous disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Venous Disorders
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Iliocaval compression syndrome is a notable cause of lower extremity venous complaints.
    • Diagnosis is often suspected based on exercise strain gauge venous plethysmography and elevated ambulatory venous pressures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of iliocaval compression syndrome.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of direct operative repair combined with anticoagulation therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis confirmed via ascending/descending venography and transstenosis pressure gradients.
    • Surgical intervention involved direct operative repair of the iliocaval junction, iliac artery rerouting, and web excision with angioplasty.
    • Perioperative management included subcutaneous heparin and warfarin.

    Main Results:

    • The described surgical approach yielded good results in the study cohort.
    • Combined surgical repair and anticoagulation proved effective for iliocaval compression syndrome.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct operative repair of the iliocaval junction is a viable treatment option.
    • Further research is necessary to determine the exact prevalence and natural history of this syndrome.
