May–Thurner syndrome with left iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis

46a. Iliofemoral Venous Thrombosis

Congenital absence of the inferior vena cava with bilateral iliofemoral acute deep venous thrombosis

Iliofemoral acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) poses increased risk for post-thrombotic syndrome. Absent inferior vena cava (IVC) syndrome is a rare vascular anomaly that can be associated with idiopathic DVT in the young patient. It remains unclear whether endovenous thrombolytic intervention for DVT in patients with absent IVC can be successful, given the impaired venous outflow. This case re...

Deep venous thrombosis and Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome.

A 27 year old male with a history of Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome, who consults for pain and swelling in his left arm. On examination, there was an aberrant member enlargement and varicose veins, localized only at the forearm and left hand. (Fig.s 1,2). Coagulation: D-dimer 3.58 mg/L. Doppler ultrasound showed thrombosis of the distal end of the left brachial vein and main branches dependent. He ...

Trousseau's Syndrome Causing Refractory Deep Venous Thrombosis

A 66-year-old man, who had been diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and who was treated with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and who had undergone the implantation of an inferior vena cava filter, was admitted due to an exacerbation of DVT. VKA was administered again; however, the patient's DVT worsened. Further examinations revealed colon cancer, which led to a diagnosis of Trousseau's s...

Iliofemoral Venous Thrombosis Mainly Related to Iliofemoral Venous Obstruction by External Tumor Compression in Cancer Patients

BACKGROUND To study iliofemoral venous thrombosis related to iliofemoral venous obstruction in cancer patients. METHODS In this case series study, 829 cancer patients were surveyed for iliofemoral obstruction/thrombosis within 10 years. The criteria for inclusion were: (1) presence of unilateral lower-extremity swelling; (2) computed tomography (CT) scans showing a tumor with external compres...
