Iliac Vein Compression Induced by a Calcified Ipsilateral Artery and Kyphosis

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the relationship between kyphosis and iliac vein compression in elderly individuals.
• Analysis of age-related changes in the anatomy of the iliac vein and arteries.
• Assessment of cases with kyphosis to evaluate compression effects.
• Review of clinical presentations linked to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
• Identification of iliac vein compression as a significant risk factor for deep vein thrombosis.
• Documentation of increased incidents of pulmonary embolism in patients with kyphosis.
• Highlighting the importance of early detection and anticoagulation to prevent severe complications.
