The iliac compression syndrome

P Jaszczak, F R Mathiesen

    Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Iliac compression syndrome, caused by left iliac vein obstruction, can lead to serious issues like deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment offer good outcomes, preventing severe complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Venous Disease Management

    Background:

    • Iliac compression syndrome results from left iliac vein obstruction near the inferior vena cava.
    • This condition impairs venous drainage from the left leg, potentially causing severe complications.

    Observation:

    • Nine patients with confirmed iliac compression syndrome via iliac phlebography were studied.
    • Iliac pressure measurements were performed in seven patients.

    Findings:

    • Four patients underwent surgical intervention: resection and retroplacement of the right iliac artery.
    • The surgical treatment yielded positive operative results.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and treatment of iliac compression syndrome are crucial for preventing incapacitating peripheral vascular disease and pulmonary embolism.
    • This rare syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripheral venous diseases.
