Venous Compression Syndromes

Joseph M White et al. Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2017 Apr.

Abstract

Venous compression syndromes occur due to extrinsic compression causing complications of venous hypertension or venous thrombosis. This review focuses on 4 venous compression syndromes involving the left common iliac vein, subclavian vein, left renal vein, and popliteal vein. Clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and management options are reviewed. When properly diagnosed and treated, long-term consequences can be avoided.

Keywords: compression; syndrome; venous.
