Résumé
Background
May–Thurner syndrome (MTS) classically denotes compression of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) between the overlying right common iliac artery (RCIA) and the fifth lumbar vertebral body, producing left-sided venous outflow obstruction, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and chronic venous insufficiency [1,2]. Compression of the right common iliac vein (RCIV) is uncommon, and the published experience is confined to isolated reports and small series [3,4].
