ABSTRACT
Symptomatic compression of the left common iliac vein between the right common iliac artery and spinal vertebrae is referred to as May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS). Atypical cases of MTS including compression of the left external iliac vein, right iliac vein or the inferior vena cava can also coexist and cause double vein compression. Current literature suggests that endovascular treatment including thrombolysis, thrombectomy, venoplasty and stent placement to correct the mechanical obstruction together with anticoagulation therapy is safe and a reasonable management for patients with MTS. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can aid in the diagnosis and the operative planning of MTS, especially regarding sizing and precise deployment of venous stents. Here we present 2 unique atypical cases of MTS with double left iliac vein compression treated endovascularly with stent placement along the common and external iliac vein with the assistance of IVUS.
