Endovascular Management of Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome Due to Pedicle Screw Malposition After Posterior Lumbar Fusion Surgery

Abstract

There are very few case reports of common iliac vein compression syndrome caused by malpositioned pedicle screws. Nowadays endovascular solutions are recommended to examine and treat vascular injuries in these cases, due to less complication rates compared to open procedures. We present a case of a possible functionally May-Thurner syndrome due to a misplaced lumbar pedicle screw and a safe way to manage it.
