May-Thurner syndrome is a complex disease diagnosed. Most often it occurs in young men with unrealized fatherhood. From September 2015 to December 2016 164 men are examined with suspected varicocele. The diagnosis of May-Thurner syndrome is confirmed in 6 patients (2.7 %). The average age of patients with May-Thurner syndrome was 26.4 ± 4.4g (17-38 years old). If you suspect a May-Thurner syndrome, diagnostic algorithm appropriate to start with a search of the asymmetry of blood flow in the iliac veins according to Doppler ultrasound. The optimum therapeutic tactics in these patients will be left intravascular stenting iliac veins in identifying positive pressure gradient in it more than 10 mm Hg compared with the inferior vena cava.
Introduction.May-Thurner syndrome is a complex disease diagnosed. Most often this disease manifests itself in chronic pelvic and testicular pain or pain in the left leg. Also, this syndrome can cause an unstable erection and cause infertility against a tense varicocele.Purpose of the study.Optimization of the management strategy for patients with recurrent varicocele.Materials and methods. The study included 254 patients with varicocele at the age of 34.8 ± 13.3 (16-44) years. Recurrent varicocele detected in 31 (12.8%) patients. May-Thurner syndrome was confirmed in 8 (3.15%) patients. In 40% of cases the syndrome of May-Thurner had identified at a recurrence to a varicoceleResults.If you suspect a May-Thurner syndrome diagnostic algorithm appropriate to start with a search of the asymmetry of blood flow in the iliac veins according to Doppler ultrasound.Conclusion.The optimum therapeutic tactics in these patients will be intravascular stenting of the left iliac veins in identifying positive pressure gradient in it more than 10 mm Hg compared with the vena cava inferior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
