Abstract

Patients with venous anomalies are at increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) and subsequent complications, but they are often under-recognised. While unprovoked VTE may trigger testing for inherited thrombophilias and malignancy screening, anatomic variants are considered less often. Venous anomalies increase the risk due to venous flow disturbance, resulting in hypertension, reduced flow velocity and turbulence. Recognition is important as endovascular or surgical intervention may be appropriate, these patients have a high rate of VTE recurrence if anticoagulation is ceased, and the anomalies can predispose to extensive VTE and severe post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). In this case series, we present representative cases and radiological images of May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), inferior vena cava (IVC) variants and venous aneurysms, and review the available literature regarding optimal diagnosis and management in each condition.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 May 2023.
All research outputs
#16,049,472
of 25,830,005 outputs
Outputs from Thrombosis Journal
#214
of 425 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#205,830
of 417,148 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Thrombosis Journal
#6
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,830,005 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 425 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.7. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 417,148 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
