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…
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…
Influence of Stent Parameters and Post-Stenting Venographic Findings on Mid-Term Patency After Thrombectomy in May-Thurner Syndrome.
Background/Objectives: In May-Thurner syndrome (MTS)-related iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), stent failure remains an important concern; however, the prognostic value of stent parameters and immediate post-stenting venographic findings is not fully defined. This study aimed to evaluate the s…
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…
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…
May-Thurner Syndrome and Its Possible Influence on Pulmonary Embolism Severity: A Case Report.
The management of recurrent venous thromboembolism requires a high index of suspicion for underlying structural anomalies such as May-Thurner syndrome (MTS). Although the prothrombotic consequences of venous compression are well established, its influence on embolization dynamics has not been clearl…
