Iliac vein compression, sometimes referred to as May-Thurner Syndrome, is an anatomically variable condition of the left common iliac vein. It is described as compression of the left iliac vein, by the right common iliac artery against the underlying spine, resulting in outflow obstruction, and possible subsequent development of a left deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
