Abstract
May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS) is caused by compression of the left common iliac vein (LCIV). While imaging findings and clinical manifestations may be associated, these relationships are complex. We aimed to determine whether hemodynamic significance of LCIV compression and related clinical manifestations could be assessed by measuring the relative blood flow in the proximal LCIV and proximal right common iliac vein (RCIV). 4D Flow MRI quantified LCIV and RCIV blood flow and LCIV/RCIV flow ratio was calculated in patients with LCIV compression compared with control patients with no vascular abnormalities (NVA).
