Deep vein thrombosis in a 14-year-old boy with a combination of May-Thurner syndrome, protein S deficiency and lupus anticoagulant: a case report.
Here, we present the first reported case of a child presenting with unprovoked deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to the unique combination of May-Thurner syndrome, protein S deficiency and lupus anticoagulant. Of interest to the clinician and scientific reader alike is that this one-of-a-kind interplay…
From Negative Duplex to Phlegmasia in Minutes: Bedside POCUS Identifies Rapid Thrombosis Unmasking Underlying May-Thurner Syndrome.
May-Thurner syndrome occurs from an anatomical variant in which the left common iliac vein is compressed against the lumbar spine by the overlying right common iliac artery. This often leads to chronic venous stasis predisposing individuals to left-sided iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Pro…
Real-world practices in the management of pediatric iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis: Results of the ELITE-Kids survey.
Pediatric anticoagulation trials have advanced evidence-based management of pediatric venous thromboembolism, but evidence is limited on the use of endovascular thrombus removal (ETR), particularly regarding clinical indications, modality selection, anticoagulant and thrombolytic dosing, safety, eff…
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Despite Therapeutic Anticoagulation in a Patient With May-Thurner Syndrome: A Case Report.
Pregnancy is a hypercoagulable state associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), an anatomic compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, predisposes affected individuals to left-sided deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and is often…
A case report of May-Thurner syndrome presenting with anticoagulation-refractory iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis successfully treated by aspiration thrombectomy and iliac vein stenting.
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a common anatomical variant predisposing to left iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Endovascular therapy is increasingly recognized as an effective approach to restore venous outflow, yet the optimal thrombus removal strategy remains debated. An 87-year-old woman p…
Not Just Another Deep Vein Thrombosis: Unmasking May-Thurner Syndrome.
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a condition characterised by the compression of the left iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, leading to venous stasis and an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This case report discusses a 56-year-old woman presenting with progressive swelling and pa…
Efficacy and safety of one-stop Angiojet mechanical thrombectomy combined with iliac vein stenting in May-Thurner syndrome complicated with acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis.
May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS) with acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (IFDVT) carries high risks of limb ischemia and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Traditional treatments like catheter-directed thrombolysis have limitations, including high major bleeding risk and prolonged hospital stays. A retro…
