BACKGROUND May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS) represents an anatomic variation of the iliac vessels, in which the left common iliac vein is compressed by an overriding iliac artery. Patients with this abnormality are predisposed to the formation of a left-sided iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT). While DVT is a familiar complication in the setting of lower extremity trauma, there are no previous ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Compression ultrasonography of the lower extremity is an established method of detecting proximal lower extremity deep venous thrombosis when performed by a certified operator in a vascular laboratory. Our objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of bedside 2-point compression ultrasonography performed in the emergency department (ED) with portable vascular ultr...

Endothermal ablation, such as endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and radiofrequency (RFA), has been increasingly used for treatment of anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) insufficiency. Accessory insufficiency is not a common source reflux. However, it uncommon. Reflux in the AASV can occur independently or simultaneously with great Several published reports describe recommendations symptoma...

May–Thurner syndrome (MTS) is caused by compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, resulting in symptoms of venous obstruction, insufficiency, and thrombosis. It is also known as iliac vein compression syndrome or Cockett’s syndrome.1 McMurrich initially reported association of common iliac vein compression with increased incidence of left lower extremity deep v...
