Diagnosis and management of iliac vein compression syndrome
Journal of Vascular Nursing, 2005Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) is the most probable cause of iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT). One half to two thirds of patients with left-sided iliofemoral DVT have intraluminal webs or spurs from chronic extrinsic compression of the left iliac vein at the crossing point of the right common iliac artery.

Compression of the Iliac Vein by a Synovial Cyst
Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2004While a synovial cyst of the hip is a rare cause of lower limb swelling, a differential diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis is needed. A case of lower limb swelling due to compression of the external iliac vein by a synovial cyst is presented with a review of the literature.

Dual compression is not an uncommon type of iliac vein compression syndrome
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017Typical iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) is characterized by compression of left common iliac vein (LCIV) by the overlying right common iliac artery (RCIA). We described an underestimated type of IVCS with dual compression by right and left common iliac arteries (LCIA) simultaneously.

Effect of stent treatment on hemodynamics in iliac vein compression syndrome with collateral vein
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2023Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) leads to blood flow obstruction in the lower extremities and is usually treated with stents, but stenting may worsen the hemodynamics and increase the risk of thrombosis in the iliac vein. The present work evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the stent on IVCS with a collateral vein.The computational ...
