What is May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS)?
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) also know as Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome is caused when the left iliac vein is compressed by the right iliac artery, which increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the left extremity.
Most people with May-Thurner syndrome don’t experience any symptoms unless it causes deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
However, because May-Thurner syndrome can make it difficult for blood to circulate back to your heart, some people may experience symptoms without DVT.
SYMPTOMS
These symptoms occur predominantly in the left leg and can include:
- Leg pain
- Leg swelling
- Feeling of heaviness in the leg
- Leg pain with walking (venous claudication)
- Skin discoloration
- Leg ulcers
- Enlarged veins in the leg
It’s hard to know how many people have May-Thurner syndrome because it usually doesn’t have any symptoms. However, according to a 2015 study, it’s estimated that 2 to 3 percent of those who develop a DVT can attribute it to May-Thurner syndrome.

Even though DVT itself is not life-threatening, the blood clot has the potential to break free and travel through the bloodstream, where it can become lodged in the blood vessels of the lung (known as a pulmonary embolism). This can be a life-threatening condition.
MTS TREATMENT
Treating May-Thurner syndrome focuses on improving the blood flow in the left iliac vein. This treatment method not only helps to relieve symptoms, but it also can lower your risk of developing DVT.
Angioplasty and stenting
A small catheter with a balloon on its tip is inserted into the vein. The balloon is inflated to open the vein. A small mesh tube called a stent is then placed to keep the vein open. The balloon is deflated and removed, but the stent stays in place.

FAQ ABOUT MTS TREATMENT
HOW IS A ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING PERFORMED?
A small catheter with a balloon on its tip is inserted into the vein. The balloon is inflated to open the vein. A small mesh tube called a stent is then placed to keep the vein open. The balloon is deflated and removed, but the stent stays in place.
WHICH TYPE OF DOCTOR PERFORMS THESE PROCEDURES?
Interventional Radiologists are leaders of minimally invasive, catheter-based treatments. These methods are often less painful, better tolerated and have quicker recovery time than conventional surgery.
WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT RISKS?
Like any procedure where skin is penetrated, there is a slight risk of infection. To learn more about the benefits and risks of Varicocele Embolization, request an appointment below.
