Abstract
We describe a patient with May-Thurner syndrome who underwent operative transection and transposition of the right common iliac artery without direct venous repair, because preoperative and intraoperative intravascular ultrasound scans were negative for "spurs" in the left common iliac vein. When symptoms and signs persisted, a postoperative magnetic resonance venogram (MRV) showed severe stenosis in the left common iliac vein. Progressive, but incomplete, clinical improvement occurred with conservative management.
