2. 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]

3. 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]

4. Chronic venous insufficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_venous_insufficiency

   Venous ulcers are common and very difficult to treat. Chronic venous ulcers are painful and debilitating. Even with treatment, recurrences are common if venous hypertension persists. Nearly 60% develop phlebitis which often progresses to deep vein thrombosis in more than 50% of patients. The venous insufficiency can also lead to severe hemorrhage.

5. External iliac vein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_iliac_vein

   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. Such compressions may contribute to deep vein thrombosis. [5] Failure to develop or agenesis of the external iliac vein has been ...

6. 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 ...

7. 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 ...
