Objective: To report two cases of inferior vena cava (IVC) and iliac vein thrombosis secondary to expansive and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. Design: Case report. Setting: Angiology and Vascular Surgery Unit, Hospital Universitario Puerta del Mar, Cádiz, Spain. Patients: Patients with clinical and radiological evidence of IVC and iliac vein thrombosis secondary to a sealed rupture from expanding aortic aneurysms. Interventions: Surgical repair in one case and conservative management in the second case. Conclusions: Venous compression was relieved, avoiding the risk associated with anticoagulant therapy in the presence of an aortic aneurysm. Ultrasound scanning is useful in assessing deep venous thrombosis and detecting compressive masses such as aortic and iliac aneurysms. Inappropriate management of patients with venous obstruction from undiagnosed arterial aneurysms may cause serious complications.

Iliac Vein Compression

For over fifty years, the pathogenesis of May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) has been associated with chronic left common iliac vein compression resulting in the formation of intraluminal, permanent obstructive lesions. However, despite this association, the mechanism by which compression produces these lesions is unknown. Diagnostic accuracy of MTS is critical since it often afflicts young patients requiring endovascular management. This review will focus on the historical, embryological and evolutionary description of MTS and examine its development, diagnosis, clinical management and potential diagnostic errors.

Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) or May–Thurner syndrome occurs predominantly in young to middle-aged women. Here we reported a case of IVCS in a 5-year-old boy. The child was admitted to our vasculocardiology department with left lower extremity that had been swollen for 1 month. Blood tests revealed coagulation routine and platelets in the normal ranges. Computer tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the left common iliac vein had become narrow before it entered the right common iliac vein. To further clarify, we performed angiography, which clearly showed the stenosis and the blood return of the left common iliac vein. So IVCS was diagnosed. What is more, we found the aorta descended to the right of the spine, and this may be the reason for the apparent compression of the left common iliac vein. Given the young age and mild symptoms of the child, the treatment was conservative mainly including elevation of the affected limb, wearing medical elastic socks, and short-term oral aspirin for anticoagulation. Meanwhile, the boy is being followed up closely. If the swelling of the left lower extremity significantly increases, stent placement may need to be considered in the future.
