Iliac vein compression can be caused by intrinsic or extrinsic factors. This compression can lead to serious complications, especially when it's extrinsic, and not part of normal anatomy. Examples include cysts, fibroids, and orthopedic hardware.
The first image is a good reference for extrinsic compression of the left common iliac vein by the left common iliac artery aneurysm via b-mode and color flow Doppler. The second image is a good reference for significantly increased venous flow velocities via spectral pulsed wave Doppler display through the area of compression.
If you're interested in learning more about this topic, join us for Universal Ultrasound Live, where you'll have the opportunity to learn alongside physicians and sonographers. They'll share their insights and knowledge, giving you a physician's perspective blended with clinical knowledge.
During the event, you'll gain valuable insight into the technical protocol for central vein assessment. This should include diameters via B-mode imaging, assessment of flow velocity, and volume flow via pulsed-wave Doppler in the inferior vena cava, bilateral common, internal, external iliac, and common femoral veins.
