What is it?
May-Thurner Syndrome occurs when the right iliac artery compresses the left iliac vein, increasing the risk of left leg DVT.
Common Symptoms
- Left leg swelling
- Leg pain or heaviness
- Skin discoloration in the leg
- Recurrent DVTs in the left leg
Why it Matters
May-Thurner is often underdiagnosed but can lead to recurrent DVTs and long-term complications if untreated.
How it’s Diagnosed
- Venous ultrasound
- Venography
- Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
Treatment Options at Flow Heart & Vascular
- Blood thinners for clot prevention
- Catheter-directed clot removal if DVT present
- Iliac vein stenting to relieve compression
