Abstract

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), also known as iliac vein compression syndrome which results in luminal narrowing and intimal hyperplasia, which predispose to venous stasis and recurrent deep vein thromboembolism (DVT). We present a 32-year-old woman with MTS who developed recurrent deep venous thromboses despite undergoing thrombectomy and being on recommended anticoagulation.
