Endovascular Repair of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome. [PDF]
An 84-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was referred to our institution for further treatment of severe swelling of the left lower extremity. The left iliac vein was compressed by the abdominal aortic aneurysm and a right common iliac arterial aneurysm measuring 62 mm and 45 mm in diameter and was partially thrombosed ...

Iliac vein compression syndrome: Clinical, imaging and pathologic findings. [PDF]
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is the pathologic compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, resulting in left lower extremity pain, swelling, and deep venous thrombosis. Though this syndrome was first described in 1851, there are currently no standardized criteria to establish the diagnosis of MTS. Since MTS is treated by a
