Abstract
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) also known as iliac vein compression syndrome, is a congenital anatomical variant, that results from the extrinsic compression of the left common iliac vein by the right iliac artery with resultant formation of left venous thrombosis. We report a case of a young man with recurrent unprovoked left lower extremity DVT in the setting of May Thurner syndrome who required endovascular intervention and was discharged on oral anticoagulation.
