Abstract：Objective: To study the radiological manifestation of iliac vein compression syndrome, and to provide objective image basis for its clinical diagnosis. Methods: Thirty-four cases with iliac vein compression syndrome were retrospectively studied, including deep venous ascending phlebography of left limb and DSA of left iliac vein, and the relationship between them. Results: Deep venous ascending phlebography of left limb showed the degree of stenosis of iliac vein, iliac vein compression syndrome can be divided into three types according to deep venous ascending phlebography of left limb, the mean stenotic rate of type I was 74.25%, type II was 55.47% and type III was 38.64%. There were significant differences between each group(P<0.01). Conclusion: Deep venous ascending phlebography of left limb is important for evaluating the severity of iliac vein compression syndrome.
