“…Studies targeting the left common iliac vein, investigating asymptomatic subjects, have found significant compression and diameter reduction in up to 80 % of their cohort [4,5]. Such publications have led to discussion whether modern diagnostic tools performed on patients predominantly in a supine position may lead to over treatment on the basis of false positives [6]. It is perceived that modern available diagnostic tools may fall short as it is suggested that patients should also be assessed in an upright position [7].…”

Less invasive contemporary endovenous techniques with improved stents have made treatment of the May Thurner Syndrome(MTS) more accessible and safer. However, clear criteria for the accurate diagnosis remain obscure. All imaging modalities are performed with patients in a supine position were compression of the left Common Iliac Vein is seen in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. There is no clear threshold value. There are no validated hemodynamic criteria. This leads to the necessity of additional information such as measurements performed in an upright position as well as greater scrutiny in detecting fibrous wall thickening and spurs as well as identifying the presence of venous collaterals. Moreover, those contemplating treating MTS should not only identify specific symptoms, but also should consider that patient complaints may be related to a more complex presentation of pelvic congestion.

May Thurner syndrome: Sixty years later

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) was described sixty years ago. Once ignored for several years, it is currently a recognized pathology in the vascular surgery community; but not long ago due to several factors, it was underdiagnosed and sub-optimally treated. In the last 20 years, with renewed interest in venous pathology, technical imaging advances and the recent interventional procedures, it has become a better known disease. On the other hand, nowadays the easiness in diagnosis and treatment of the syndrome has lead to overtreatment of such patients. In this article, we do a historical review and describe the significant advances and current management of May-Thurner syndrome.
