Methods Of Treating May-Thurner Syndrome

May-Thurner syndrome is a condition where a major vein in the left leg called the iliac vein is squeezed by its companion artery, or the left iliac artery, increasing the risk of blood clots in the left leg. The condition is sometimes asymptomatic until the patient discovers they have a deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot deep in a large vein. Other individuals find their leg swells, is tender or painful, and feels warm to the touch. The skin may be red, and they may see veins in their leg that look varicose.
