Abstract

Venous compressive disorders are a heterogenous group of vascular syndromes characterized by extrinsic venous compression that can lead to complications of venous hypertension or venous thrombosis. Endovascular damage secondary to deep venous thrombosis (DVT) can result in post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), a potentially debilitating condition that can be associated with significant morbidity in the pediatric population. Here we discuss 4 venous compressive disorders: iliac vein compression (May-Thurner syndrome [MTS]); subclavian vein compression at the venous thoracic inlet (Paget-Schroetter syndrome); left renal vein compression (nutcracker syndrome); and popliteal vein compression (popliteal entrapment syndrome) with a focus on clinical evaluation and diagnostic methods. Where endovascular therapy is appropriate, specific procedural considerations including procedure indications, equipment, procedural steps, technical challenges, complications, clinical follow-up and expected outcomes are discussed.
