What Is May Thurner Syndrome?
9. May-Thurner Syndrome Treatment
Treatment for May Thurner syndrome will tend to revolve around helping to improve the flow of blood through the affected veins. The treatment is intended to help reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis from developing, and to ease the patient’s symptoms to help make them more comfortable.
In some cases, an angioplasty might be used. This involves expanding the vein with a small balloon and then inserting a stent to help keep the vein open. Surgery might be used to help reposition the vein, while bypass surgery might also be used to help ensure the blood can flow freely.
