Abstract
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a condition in which the left common iliac vein is compressed by the right common iliac artery, which may cause swelling, pain or deep venous thrombosis of the left lower extremity.1 Postthrombotic syndrome, nonthrombotic chronic venous insufficiency, and recurrence after venous thrombosis are also possible complications. Although MTS combined with left iliac arteriovenous fistula is rarely reported, we treated 3 such cases in the past year.
