Abstract:
Objective To assess the value of multi-slice spiral CTA in the diagnosis of iliac vein compression syndrome(IVCS)and secondary thrombosis.Methods The CTA data of 80 controls and 31 patients with IVCS conformed by DSA were retrospectively studied.The inner diameters of the compressed iliac vein in two groups were measured and compression ratios were calculated.The data were compared using t test and Wilcoxon test.The findings of CTA were compared with that of DSA and the accuracy of CTA was analyzed.Results For the control group,the inner diameters of left iliac vein in female group(7.0±2.5)mm were significantly less than that in male group(8.1±2.5)mm(t=2.42,P＜0.05).For the control group,the inner diameters of left iliac vein was(7.6±2.0)mm,and the compression ratios were 0 to 65.41%(median 27.65%).The compression ratios were no statistical differences between male group(0 to 61.36%,median 26.82%)and female group(0 to 65.41%,median 28.75%)(Z=-0.59,P＞0.05).For the patients group,the inner diameters of compression iliac vein was(2.7±1.1)mm.The compression ratios were 55.18% to 100%(median 76.12%).Both inner diameters and compression ratios were statistically different between the control and patients group(t=12.78,P＜0.05;Z=-8.18,P＜0.05).Fifteen of 31 cases with IVCS were accompanied with deep vein thrombosis.The left iliac veins were compress in 28 cases,while right iliac veins were compressed in 2 cases.The left and right iliac common veins were compressed by the left and right jliac common arteries in one case.The results of CTA were consistent with that of DSA in all cases.Conclusions CTA can not only measure the inner diameters of iliae vein compression and calculate compression ratios,but also demonstrate secondary thrombosis clearly.CTA is an effective examination in diagnosis of IVCS and secondary thrombosis.
