The therapeutic approach of the May-Thurner Syndrome without Deep Venous Thrombosis: a systematic review

Abstract

May-Thurner Syndrome is a clinical condition which causes a variety of vascular symptoms, resulting from pelvic and lower extremity venous flow obstruction caused by the compression of the iliac vein by overlying iliac artery. Treatment paradigms have changed as experience with endovascular modalities has evolved, making traditional surgical treatment strategies essentially obsolete and a endovascular treatment with angioplasty and stenting along selective thrombolysis has become the standard for symptomatic the syndrome. The objective of this present study is to show the therapeutic approach in treatment when there's no presence of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) symptoms. To accomplish this purpose, a systematic review of articles about May-Thurner Syndrome and its management therapies,
