  2. May–Thurner syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May–Thurner_syndrome

    Because of its similarities to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), May–Thurner syndrome is rarely diagnosed amongst the general population. In this condition, the right iliac artery sequesters and compresses the left common iliac vein against the lumbar section of the spine, [5] resulting in swelling of the legs and ankles, pain, tingling, and/or numbness in the legs and feet. [6]

  3. Deep vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_vein_thrombosis

    The iliac veins (in the pelvis) include the external iliac vein, the internal iliac vein, and the common iliac vein. The common femoral vein is below the external iliac vein. (It is labeled simply "femoral" here.) DVT and PE are the two manifestations of the cardiovascular disease venous thromboembolism (VTE). [2]

  4. Chronic venous insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_venous_insufficiency

    This is a rare condition in which blood clots occur in the iliofemoral vein due to compression of the blood vessels in the leg. The specific problem is compression of the left common iliac vein by the overlying right common iliac artery. Many May-Thurner compressions are overlooked when there is no blood clot.

  5. Aortic bifurcation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_bifurcation

    The right common iliac artery passes in front of the left common iliac vein. In some individuals, mainly women with lumbar lordosis, this vein can be compressed between the vertebra and the artery. This is the so-called Cockett syndrome or May–Thurner syndrome [2] can cause a slower venous flow and the possibility of deep venous thrombosis in ...

  6. External iliac vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_iliac_vein

    Although less common than May-Thurner syndrome, it is being progressively documented due to modern imaging methods. Compression of the left external iliac vein by the right common iliac artery or left hypogastric artery can occur as it crosses over the vein into the pelvis. The right external iliac vein can similarly be compressed.

  7. Common iliac vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_iliac_vein

    The external iliac vein and internal iliac vein unite in front of the sacroiliac joint to form the common iliac veins. [2] Both common iliac veins ascend to form the inferior vena cava behind the right common iliac artery at the level of the fifth lumbar vertebra. [3] The vena cava is to the right of the midline and therefore the left common ...

  8. Phlegmasia cerulea dolens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlegmasia_cerulea_dolens

    Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) (literally: 'painful blue inflammation'), not to be confused with preceding phlegmasia alba dolens, is an uncommon severe form of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that obstructs blood outflow from a vein. Upper extremity PCD is less common, occurring in under 10% of all cases. [1]

  9. Iliac vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_vein

    In human anatomy, iliac vein refers to several anatomical structures located in the pelvis: Common iliac vein, formed by the external and internal iliac veins, drains into the inferior vena cava; Deep circumflex iliac vein, formed by the union of the venae comitantes of the deep iliac circumflex artery, and joins the external iliac vein
