Abdominal Compression Syndromes and Venous Thrombosis Unit
Patient information
The Abdominal Compression Syndromes and Venous Thrombosis Unit at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital, which forms part of the Angiology and Vascular Surgery department, is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of rare venous conditions of high clinical complexity.
Its work focuses on disorders of the deep venous return that require expert assessment and precise therapeutic management, with the aim of preventing complications and avoiding unnecessary procedures.
The unit treats patients with persistent or unexplained venous symptoms, such as pain, swelling, heaviness or chronic oedema, as well as those with a history of deep vein thrombosis and an unfavourable clinical outcome. It also manages cases involving a risk of thrombotic recurrence or established venous sequelae, focusing the assessment on identifying the underlying cause of the problem and defining a safe treatment strategy tailored to each individual situation.
The unit treats complex venous conditions related to abnormalities in deep venous flow and abdominal compression. Among others, it specialises in treating:
May-Thurner syndrome
Nutcracker syndrome
Iliac and central venous compression
Complex or recurrent deep vein thrombosis
Post-thrombotic syndrome
Secondary deep vein insufficiency
The care process begins with a detailed clinical assessment, based on the patient’s medical history, the progression of their symptoms and any associated risk factors.
The assessment is supported by specific imaging tests, such as venous Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography and phlebography, which enable the venous anatomy to be analysed precisely, areas of compression to be identified and their functional impact to be assessed.
With all this information, the team determines the most appropriate course of treatment in a reasoned manner, explaining the available options and allowing sufficient time for an informed decision to be made, based on the actual benefit for each patient.
Treatment is always tailored to the individual. Where indicated, priority is given to an endovascular approach using minimally invasive techniques, such as angioplasty and the placement of venous stents, aimed at restoring venous flow and relieving symptoms.
In selected cases, open surgery is considered as a therapeutic alternative. The unit also incorporates strategies aimed at preventing new thromboses and the progression of venous damage, combining interventional treatment with specialised clinical follow-up.
The unit comprises a medical team with extensive experience in managing rare venous conditions of high clinical complexity. Their approach is based on expert analysis of each case, appropriate treatment recommendations and a doctor-patient relationship centred on clinical support and continuity of care, from the initial diagnosis through to long-term follow-up.
The unit offers a specialist assessment of abdominal venous compression syndromes and complex venous thrombosis, aimed at confirming the diagnosis and determining, based on expert judgement, the most appropriate course of treatment.
