May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a rare disease which occurs due to the compression of the left iliac vein by the overriding right iliac artery, subsequently resulting in obstructed venous return, and ultimately predisposing the patient to deep venous thrombosis.1 Its incidence is variable and ranges between 5% to 18% in patients with DVT involving lower limb.

VTE may develop in postoperative patients for various reasons: patient characteristics (advanced age, comorbid disease, for example), inactivity following the operation, and insufficient venous return. VTE prevalence among the postoperative patients was 5.6/10,000 in the present study.
