The standard procedure to secure a diagnosis is venography, followed by endovascular therapy as the preferred treatment choice if the patient is symptomatic. In our case series, there are three related patients with May\u2013Thurner syndrome. A 16-year-old female was admitted with pulmonary embolism, dyspnoea and hip pain. The compression syndrome was diagnosed with interventional venography, and the patient received venous stent implantation. Due to her family history, we also suspected her mother to be affected by the syndrome and elucidated the diagnosis shortly afterwards by invasive venography. Subsequently, we examined the patient\u2019s 19-year-old brother, and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed May\u2013Thurner syndrome. A similar case series has not been published before. In this case, the family relation indicates a possible hereditary aspect of May\u2013Thurner syndrome. This hypothesis should be the subject of further research. In conclusion, it is essential to assess family history thoroughly when treating patients with May\u2013Thurner syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life14020221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,5]],"date-time":"2024-02-05T05:22:44Z","timestamp":1707110564000},"page":"221","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Familiar Disposition of May\u2013Thurner Syndrome\u2014A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Stefanie","family":"Nowak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Cardiology and Paediatric Intensive Care, University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3580-2268","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Jakob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Cardiology and Paediatric Intensive Care, University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Dalla Pozza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Cardiology and Paediatric Intensive Care, University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Michel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Cardiology and Paediatric Intensive Care, University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikolaus A.","family":"Haas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Cardiology and Paediatric Intensive Care, University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Pattathu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Cardiology and Paediatric Intensive Care, University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"96","DOI":"10.1024\/0301-1526\/a000252","article-title":"May-Thurner syndrome: Diagnosis and management","volume":"42","author":"Brazeau","year":"2013","journal-title":"Vasa"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"419","DOI":"10.1177\/000331975700800505","article-title":"The Cause of the Predominantly Sinistral Occurrence of Thrombosis of the Pelvic Veins","volume":"8","author":"May","year":"1957","journal-title":"Angiology"},{"key":"ref_3","unstructured":"Virchow, R.
