Stent Compression in Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome Associated with Acute Ilio-Femoral Deep Vein Thrombosis [PDF]

Korean Journal of Radiology, 2015
This study was conducted to evaluate stent compression in iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) and to identify its association with stent patency.Between May 2005 and June 2014, after stent placement for the treatment of IVCS with acute ilio-femoral deep vein thrombosis, follow-up CT venography was performed in 48 patients (35 women, 13 men; age ...

The left common iliac artery also compresses the left common iliac vein [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2011
The higher prevalence of venous disorders in the left lower limb is currently ascribed to compression of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) by the right common iliac artery (RCIA). This study evaluated the occurrence of LCIV compression by the left common iliac artery (LCIA).The anatomy of iliac vessels was evaluated by computed tomography (CT) in 100 ...

Diagnosis and management of right external iliac vein “sandwich”: A rare cause of iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
Several anatomic abnormalities predispose patients to iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis, the most common of which is compression of the left iliac vein between the right common iliac artery and lumbar vertebrae, or May-Thurner syndrome.

How far are we from the ideal iliac vein stent [PDF]

Waike lilun yu shijian
The iliac vein plays a crucial role in the reflux of venous blood from the pelvic and lower extremity regions. Due to its unique anatomical characteristics, iliac vein is susceptible to iliac vein compression syndrome (May-Thurner syndrome) and post ...

Childhood Varicose Veins–An Unusual Visceral “May–Thurner” Like Compression

Journal of Clinical Interventional Radiology ISVIR, 2021
We report the case of 8-year-old girl with left lower limb edema due to superficial venous incompetence and varicosities. Color Doppler demonstrated compression of the left common iliac vein by an ectopic left kidney, which was partly relieved in right ...

Indications for Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in the Management of Acute Proximal Deep Venous Thrombosis [PDF]

, 2010
Deep vein thromboses (DVTs) cause significant morbidity and mortality in the general population. Oral anticoagulation therapy may reduce thrombus propagation but does not cause clot lysis and therefore does not prevent postthrombotic syndrome (PTS ...

Iliac Veins Are More Compressible Than Iliac Arteries: A New Method of Testing [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2019
Incompressibility implies that a tissue preserves its volume regardless of the loading conditions. Although this assumption is well-established in arterial wall mechanics, it is assumed to apply for the venous wall without validation. The objective of this study is to test whether the incompressibility assumption holds for the venous wall.
