Obturator artery is frequently a branch of anterior division of the internal iliac artery. It has drawn attention of pelvic surgeons, anatomists and radiologists because of the high frequency of variations in its course and origin. The obturator vein is usually described as a tributary of the internal iliac vein. During routine dissection classes to undergraduate medical students we have observed obturator artery arising from external iliac artery, obturator vein draining into external iliac vein, communicating vein between obturator vein and external iliac vein and inferior epigastric artery arising from the obturator artery. The anomalous obturator vessels and inferior epigastric artery in the present case may be in a dangerous situation in pelvic surgeries that require dissection or suturing along the pelvic rim. Developmental reasons and clinical significances of the variations are discussed.

The iliocaval compression syndrome is a disorder, frequently found in young women, in which extrinsic compression of the left iliocaval junction produces signs and symptoms of lower extremity venous insufficiency. The anatomic variant which gives rise to this syndrome consists of compression of the left common iliac vein by the overlying right common iliac artery, near its junction with the vena cava. Additional reduction of outflow results from intraluminal venous webs and tight adhesions between the iliac artery and vein. Pain, swelling, pigmentation, and venous claudication characterize this syndrome, which affects predominantly the left leg. The syndrome may progress to iliofemoral thrombosis, phlegmasia cerulea dolens, and venous gangrene. Longstanding iliocaval stenosis may produce valvular incompetence. Exercise plethysmography is a non-invasive test useful in screening patients for iliocaval compression. The definitive diagnosis is made by venography, both ascending and descending, to determine the degree of outflow stenosis. Iliocaval patch angioplasty with retrocaval positioning of the right iliac artery, decreases venous hypertension and leads to improvement in the clinical condition. To date, we have performed iliocaval angioplasty, with retrocaval repositioning of the right common iliac artery, on 18 patients. Of these, 83% have had good results as determined by hemodynamic and clinical assessment.

Venous Stents

May–Thurner syndrome (MTS) is caused by compression of the left iliac vein by the right iliac artery, leading to clinical manifestations of outflow obstruction in the lower limb and deep vein thrombosis. There have been increasing reports of iatrogenic MTS caused by medical implants. The authors report the case of a 60-year-old man who developed MTS after stenting of the right common iliac artery. Due to the debilitating nature of the patient’s symptoms of venous congestion in the left leg, he proceeded with endovascular venoplasty and venous stent insertion with concurrent intra-arterial balloon angioplasty of the existing right common iliac artery stent. Technical success and primary patency of arterial and venous stents were achieved. The patient remained asymptomatic at 6 weeks and 3 months follow-up and arterial and venous stents were found to be patent on duplex ultrasound. Surgical management of MTS may include thrombolysis, thrombectomy, venoplasty and stenting of the left common iliac vein. Care must be taken to preserve existing medical implants during treatment of MTS. The authors demonstrate that concurrent angioplasty of the right common iliac artery during treatment of the vein is an effective method of preventing arterial stent disruption during surgical management of MTS.

Leiomyosarcoma of the iliac vein is an uncommon tumor. We report a case of a 63-year-old Japanese woman with leiomyosarcoma of the right external iliac vein. The patient complained of right inguinal pain and swelling. Computed tomography demonstrated a mass surrounding the right external iliac artery and vein. Metastases in the lungs and liver were found. Complete resection of the tumor along with the involved vessels was performed. Polytetrafluoroethylene grafts were used to reconstruct the vessels. Pathological examination revealed leiomyosarcoma of the external iliac vein. Although the prognosis of leiomyosarcoma is poor, en bloc tumor resection is the treatment of choice.

The authors describe the abnormal confluence of the right internal iliac vein into a left common iliac vein compressed by the overlying right common iliac artery. The prevalence of this combination of abnormalities, evaluated in cadavers and in living subjects by CT, was 0.9%. The possible obstacle to venous pelvic return by these anomalies is pointed out.

Introduction: Cockett syndrome (CS) is characterized by compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery against the spinal wall, causing obstruction of left lower limb (LLL) blood flow. The clinical condition is mainly manifested by pain and edema of the LLL and, in more severe cases, even by left iliofemoral venous thrombosis. It is already well established in the literature that in cases such as Cockett syndrome, orthopedic surgeries also corroborate the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), mainly by the positioning and manipulation of the limb during the intervention; by the continuous reaction secondary to the use of cement; by significant blood loss; by postoperative (PO) edema; and by the mobility limitations PO. Case report: A 42-year-old patient complained of left foot pain and repetitive sprains for 2 years. After a complete physical examination indicating a cavovarus foot and a pointed hindfoot, an AP and profile radiograph of the limb was requested, which revealed data compatible with a foot cavity. The nuclear magnetic resonance demonstrated the necessity for cavo foot correction surgery and reconstruction of the structure of the ankle. The patient was classified as ASA 1 and had no indication for prophylaxis for DVT according to the Hospital Protocol. The surgical procedure occurred without intercurrences, and the patient was discharged in good general condition in the 2nd PO with guidelines and prescriptions. The patient returned to the foot clinic on the 7th PO complaining of abrupt pain in the LLL, accompanied by edema, hyperemia and cyanosis of the limb. A Doppler ultrasonography was performed, which detected extensive thrombosis of the iliac vein and compression of the same by the contralateral iliac artery, raising the hypothesis of CS. In the present paper, the exam images, surgery, PO and evolution for the DVT will be presented and discussed, as well as the resolution of this condition through endovascular surgery with angioplasty and stent implantation. Conclusion: CS and orthopedic surgeries are, in isolation, important risk factors for the development of DVT and, above all, when overlapped, they increase this risk exponentially. Endovascular surgery with angioplasty and stent implantation is the main form of treatment, presenting excellent clinical results.
