may-thurner syndrome is an uncommon cause of venous symptoms and signs related to the left lower limb. it is characterized by compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery and, when such anatomical change causes symptoms that may impair the patients%26apos; quality of life, surgical treatment is indicated. this article addresses a case of may-thurner syndrome in which we opted for endovascular treatment with satisfactory outcome, as well as a discussion about indications, nuances, and expected results. we concluded that endovascular treatment is effective in treating this syndrome, for it resolves the symptoms by recanalization of the venous system with little risks during the procedure and with short hospital stay.
