description May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a rare cause of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This diagnosis is seldomly included in the differential diagnosis. The disease is defined as extraluminal iliac vein compression by the arterial system against bony structures in the iliocaval area. This occurs more commonly on the left side due to the unfortunate position of the proximal left iliac vein that runs between the right common iliac artery and spine. MTS is commonly presented in younger female patients with left unilateral proximal DVT. However, MTS is rarely reported in elderly patients. We present a case of a 69-year-old man with a diagnosis of MTS and further management with a venous stent.
