Objective To evaluate right iliac vein and left iliac vein compression in asymptomatic subjects, right-sided and left-sided iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis patients. Methods A retrospective analysis of records and computed tomography images was conducted in 200 asymptomatic subjects (male:female, 100:100). A prospective analysis was conducted in 79 consecutive deep vein thrombosis patients (left:right deep vein thrombosis, 47:32) who had undergone contrast-enhanced computed tomography examination. The minor diameter and percentage compression of the iliac vein were evaluated. Results In asymptomatic subjects, 13.5% had right iliac vein compression >50%, 2.0% had right iliac vein compression >70%, mean compression was 23.48%; 45.0% had left iliac vein compression >50% and 17.0% had left iliac vein compression >70%, mean compression was 47.58%. Right iliac vein sandwiched between the right external iliac artery and the right internal iliac artery was the most common compression pattern (59.26%). Males had higher right iliac vein compression than the females (male:female, 26.29%:20.68%, P < 0.001). Mean percentage compression of the right iliac vein was higher in right deep vein thrombosis patients than in left deep vein thrombosis patients (right:left deep vein thrombosis, 48.54%:22.29%, P < 0.001). Conclusion Similar to left iliac vein compression, right iliac vein compression was a frequent imaging finding in CT and represented a normal anatomic pattern. Right deep vein thrombosis patients had more serious right iliac vein compression than left deep vein thrombosis patients, and further research is required on the association of right iliac vein compression with right iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis.

Inguinal hernias are the most common of all hernias. A complicated hernia is irreducible, and the contents are obstructed or strangulated. Sonography is considered the imaging modality of choice for the diagnosis of abnormalities of the inguinal area. This case study is about a patient with an inguinal hernia that had not been repaired and progressed into a life-threatening, complicated inguinoscrotal hernia. The patient’s complaints and clinical findings required sonographic examinations of the abdomen, pelvis, inguinal canal, and scrotum. Sonographic findings were corroborated by findings with computed tomography (CT). After the compromised intestine was resected and the hernia was repaired, the patient developed a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), identified sonographically. The patient was successfully treated and discharged.

Background May-Thurner syndrome is a kind of disease caused by the compression of the left common iliac vein. It is one of the causes of incomplete venous valves and superficial varicose veins in lower limbs, and is also a potential factor of acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Method Here 3 cases are diagnosed as May-Thurner syndrome at different ages. Case presentations 1. A 35-year-old female patient was hospitalized with swelling of the left lower limb for 1 week. Computed tomography (CT) showed compression of the left common iliac vein with thrombosis. May-Thurner syndrome was diagnosed and catheter-directed thrombolysis was performed. 2. A 37-year-old male patient came to our hospital due to sudden swelling of the right lower extremity and pain for 3 days. Computed tomography showed compression of the left common iliac vein and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the right iliac vein. May-Thurner syndrome was diagnosed. The patient was performed with inferior vena cava (IVC) filter implantation, catheter-directed thrombolysis and balloon angioplasty for right iliac vein. And the patient recovered well; 3. A 55-year-old female patient came to our hospital with swelling and discomfort in the left lower extremity for 3 days. Computed tomography showed stenosis of the left common iliac vein with deep vein thrombosis. May-Thurner syndrome was diagnosed, balloon dilation and stent implantation were performed. During 3 years of follow-up, there was no swelling or new thrombosis in her lower limbs. Conclusion When encountering unexplained deep vein thrombosis, iliac vein compression syndrome should be considered and treated in time to prevent the recurrence of thrombosis. Catheter-directed thrombolysis can relieve symptoms and stenting placement is the optimal way to relieve stenosis, supplemented by long-term anticoagulation therapy and graduated compression stockings.

India is a densely populated developing country and accounts for one quarter of the total tuberculosis cases reported worldwide. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has been associated with 1.5-3.4% cases of tuberculosis. A 14 year female presented with complaints of cough with progressive breathlessness (NYHA Grade III) since 15 days along with easy fatiguability and fever for 3 days. The patient was started on Anti-Tubercular Treatment (ATT) as per RNTCP guidelines after thorough investigations. One week after the patient was started on ATT, the patient developed edema of the right lower limb accompanied by pain. Color doppler was suggestive of thrombosis in the superficial and deep veins. Early immobilization and physiotherapy was started immediately. Over a period of 10 days, the swelling gradually decreased, and pain subsided. Tuberculosis is an independent risk factor for the development of venous thromboembolism irrespective of the presence of other risk factors. Emphasis is thus laid on high index of suspicion and early diagnosis to control and prevent further complications like pulmonary embolism. We can propose that in patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, early immobilization and physiotherapy can prevent the development of DVT.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period represent a condition characterized by a thrombotic predisposition. The majority of pregnant women do not face acute or severe thrombotic events. In general, mild inconveniences such as leg swelling or moderately painful thrombotic events (phlebitis) are encountered. However, when pregnancy is associated with inherited or acquired deficits that affect homeostasis, the risk of acute or even life-threatening events can increase significantly. The major consequence is the loss of the fetus or the venous thromboembolism that endangers the mother’s life. Venous thromboembolism is caused by deep vein thrombosis, therefore timely detection and especially the assessment of the extent of the thrombotic event are crucial. In this paper we have summarized the most important paraclinical investigations. The study emphasizes the importance of selecting the methods of investigation. The right choice allows establishing a correct diagnosis and individualizing the treatment.

Background: There is a paucity of reports on the deep vein thrombosis in our environment.Aims and Objective: The aim of this study is to document the role of Doppler ultrasound in detecting deep vein thrombosis in our environment.Methods and Materials: Between Januarys to December 2014 forty six in patients with suspicion of DVT were evaluated prospectively. All patients presented with symptoms of single or bilateral disease, and a high probability of the disease. Two trained radiologists performed all duplex scan examinations. The patients were scanned using Mindray DC-3/DC-3T Diagnostic ultrasound scanner (Mindray Bio- Medical Electronics Co., LTD) linear (7-12MHz) transducers was used.Results: A total of 46 patients had duplex-Doppler scan examination carried out between January-December 2014. There were 30(65.2%) males and 16(38.8%) females subjects recruited for the study. The mean age was 48.9±SD17.3 with range of 18-85 years. A total of 21 patients (45.6%) were found to have deep vein thrombosis (DVTs) on duplex-Doppler examination. Proximal DVTs was seen in 6(12.9%) and 14(30.3%) for right and left lower limbs respectively. Distal DVTs was seen in 1(2.2%) in the right lower limb and 25(54.4%) show normal findings bilaterally. Diffused DVTs was seen in 2(4.3%) patients involving external, through popliteal veins on the right lower limb. In 3(6.5%) of the patients only the common femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal shows diffuse DVTs.Conclusion: With availability of Doppler ultrasound in our environment the diagnosis of DVT is now easier. Duplex scanning techniques are faster, safer, and less expensive. Because of its noninvasive nature, venous duplex is repeatable, allowing for continued follow up after the diagnosis. Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(6) 2016 53-57

Summary. Iliac vein compression syndrome (May-Thurner syndrome – MTS) is an anatomically variable clinical condition in which the left common iliac vein is compressed between the right common iliac artery and the underlying spine. This anatomic variant results in an increased incidence of left iliac or iliofemoral vein thrombosis. It predominantly affects young women in the second or third decades of life with preponderance during pregnancy or oral contraceptive use. Although MTS is rare, its true prevalence is underestimated but it can be a life-threatening condition due to development of pulmonary embolism (PE). In this case based review the authors present three cases of MTS. All patients had been previously confirmed with PE, but despite they were admitted to hospital, diagnosed and correctly treated for PE and investigated for thrombophilia, the iliac vein compression syndrome was not suspected or investigated. With this presentation the authors would like to emphasize that MTS is mostly underdiagnosed, and it needs to be ruled out in left iliofemoral vein thrombosis in young individuals.
