Marcelo Fernandes Lima

 

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) represents the most common known cause of non-thrombotic iliac vein obstruction. The most common symptoms are chronic extremity edema and pain, and MTS is also an important cause of acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) affecting the left inferior limb. In this scenario, an endovascular stent placement to relieve the extrinsic compression seems not only to alleviate these symptoms but also playing a role in preventing an acute DVT episode.
