May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS)—also known as iliac vein compression syndrome—is a vascular (blood vessel) condition that causes problems with blood flow in the legs. The condition occurs when the right iliac artery in your pelvic area presses the left iliac vein against the vertebrae in your lower back. This action can disrupt normal blood flow from the leg to the heart and increase the risk of developing a blood clot in your deep veins (also known as deep vein thrombosis).
