Iliac Vein Compression and Pulmonary Embolism in a Long Distance Runner: Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance ImagingA Case ReportDepartment of Radiology, UConn Health Science Center, Farmington, CT, keith.cauley{at}uvm.edu
Department of Radiology, Bassett Healthcare, Cooperstown, NY Iliac vein compression is invoked as the explanation for deep venous thrombosis occurring more often in the left iliofemoral system than the right. The authors report a previously undescribed variant of iliac compression whereby a left iliac arterial aneurysm caused venous compression and resultant thrombosis. In this case the patient suffered a pulmonary embolism without symptoms of lower extremity venous thrombosis.
