May–Thurner syndrome (MTS), also known as iliac vein compression syndrome, is a condition, in which compression of the commonvenous outflow tract of the left lower extremity can cause discomfort, swelling, pain or blood clots in the iliofemoral veins. The problemis due to left common iliac vein compression by the overlying right common iliac artery. This paper describes the case of a 75-year-oldfemale with MTS after performing right total knee replacement arthroplasty. The authors diagnosed MTS through intravenous angiographyand angiographic computed tomography on swelling and pain of the left lower extremities after performing right total knee replacementarthroplasty. The thrombus was removed using a thrombolytic agent and mechanical thrombectomy, and an intravenous stent then insertedafter angioplasty. No case of MTS after performing total knee replacement arthroplasty has been reported in Korea. Therefore, this case isreported along with review of the relevant literature.
