A comparative study of altered hemodynamics in iliac vein compression syndrome.

Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) is present in over 20% of the population and is associated with left leg pain, swelling, and thrombosis. IVCS symptoms are thought to be induced by altered pelvic hemodynamics, however, there currently exists a knowledge gap on the hemodynamic differences between IVCS and healthy patients. To elucidate those differences, we carried out a patient-specific, computational modeling comparative study.
