The Hidden Threat: Chronic Urinary Retention and Thromboembolism in Underlying May-Thurner Syndrome. [PDF]

Case Rep Vasc Med
May–Thurner syndrome (MTS) is characterized by the formation of an intravenous scar or venous “spur” resulting from chronic pulsatile compression of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) by the right common iliac artery (RCIA) against the fourth or fifth lumbar vertebral body. This pulsatile compression creates a flow‐limiting stenosis of the LCIV, leading
