Severe May–Thurner syndrome may require thrombolysis if there is a recent onset of thrombosis, followed by angioplasty and stenting of the iliac vein [1] [7]: 1006–1007 [9] after confirming the diagnosis with a venogram or an intravascular ultrasound. A stent may be used to support the area from further compression following angioplasty. As ...
Conditions that involve compromised blood flow in the veins are May–Thurner syndrome, where a vein of the pelvis is compressed, and venous thoracic outlet syndrome, which includes Paget–Schroetter syndrome, where compression occurs near the base of the neck. [68] [69] [70]
Risk factors, present in around 50% of documented cases, include malignancy, hyper-coagulable states, cardiac disease, venous stasis, venous insufficiency, May-Thurner syndrome (right iliac artery compressing the left iliac vein that runs beneath it), surgery, trauma, pregnancy, inferior vena cava (IVC) filter, hormone therapy, oral contraceptives, prolonged immobilization, inflammatory bowel ...
What is May-Thurner syndrome? The vascular condition, also known as iliac vein compression syndrome or Cockett syndrome, causes a vein in the pelvis, called the iliac vein, to become dangerously ...
Nutcracker syndrome; Other names: Nutcracker phenomenon, renal vein entrapment syndrome, mesoaortic compression of the left renal vein: The nutcracker syndrome results from compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery.
May–Hegglin anomaly; ... (MHA), is a rare genetic disorder of the blood platelets that ... MHA is also a feature of the Alport syndrome (hereditary nephritis with ...
AVMs may occur in isolation or as a part of another disease (for example, Sturge-Weber syndrome or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia). [22] AVMs have been shown to be associated with aortic stenosis. [23] Bleeding from an AVM can be relatively mild or devastating. It can cause severe and less often fatal strokes. [1]
The prevalence of Mönckeberg's arteriosclerosis increases with age and is more frequent in diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic inflammatory conditions, hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D) and rare genetic disorders, such as Keutel syndrome. [3]
