dc.description.abstractObjective This study aims to report two cases of symptomatic extrinsic compression of the inferior vena cava and left iliac vein caused by vertebral osteophytes. Methods We present two case reports of extrinsic venous compression by vertebral osteophytes. Both cases were endovascularly treated, with a successful outcome. A review of the literature of this unusual condition is also presented. Results The first patient is an 80-year-old woman who presented to the vascular surgery clinic with bilateral lower extremity edema and pain. A computed-tomography angiography (CTA) revealed extrinsic compression of the inferior vena cava from enlarged osteophytes. Venography and intravascular ultrasound were performed, confirming the diagnosis. A self-expanding venous stent was successfully deployed in the inferior vena cava relieving the extrinsic compression. The edema resolved the following day and was discharged without complications. The second patient is a 61-year-old male that presented to the emergency department with a left iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis. CTA showed left iliac vein compression by a lumbar osteophyte. Percutaneous thrombectomy was successfully achieved and an expanding stent was deployed covering the entire lesion. One month after the procedure the patient died from COVID-19-associated respiratory failure. Conclusion Osteophytes must be considered when dealing with extrinsic venous compression, especially in elderly people.
