May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) can lead to deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the left lower extremity, and it is often triggered by factors such as surgery or pregnancy. We present a rare case where the risk factor for thromboembolism in MTS is a complication from COVID-19 vaccination. A 44-year-old female who presented with fatigue, fever, and myalgia had developed thromboembolism as a complication of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. Diagnostic criteria for vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) should be considered in such cases that include symptoms within 5-30 days post vaccination, elevated D-dimer, and thrombosis. Treatment involved anticoagulants and intervention for MTS included thrombectomy and stent placement. Recognition of post-COVID-19 vaccination complications such as VITT is crucial for early intervention and patient awareness during vaccination decisions.
梅-图二氏综合征(MTS)可导致左下肢深静脉血栓形成(DVT),且常由手术或妊娠等因素引发。我们报告了一例罕见病例,其中MTS血栓栓塞的危险因素是新冠病毒疫苗接种的并发症。一名出现疲劳、发热和肌痛的44岁女性,因接种强生公司的新冠病毒疫苗而发生血栓栓塞并发症。在这类包括接种疫苗后5至30天内出现症状、D-二聚体升高和血栓形成的病例中,应考虑疫苗诱导的免疫性血栓性血小板减少症(VITT)的诊断标准。治疗包括抗凝剂,而针对MTS的干预措施包括血栓切除术和支架置入术。认识到如VITT等新冠病毒疫苗接种后的并发症对于早期干预以及患者在疫苗接种决策过程中的认知至关重要。
