Cockett's syndrome (iliac compression syndrome) results from compression of the common iliac vein by the aortic bifurcation. The anatomical abnormality is frequent (15-20% of the population), but symptoms only appear when compression is pronounced. In a study of 16 patients, predominantly female, the following clinical presentations were observed: venous oedema of the left lower limb in 4 cases; symptoms suggesting iliac phlebitis in 3 cases; pulmonary embolism as first sign of peripheral venous thrombosis in 6 cases; and deterioration of angiodyplasia in 3 cases. In all patients, the diagnosis of Cockett's syndrome was confirmed by cavography. Surgical treatment, successfully performed in 13 patients, consists of uncrossing the artery and vein and placing a clip on the vena cava in case of pulmonary embolism
科克特综合征（髂静脉受压综合征）是由主动脉分叉压迫髂总静脉所致。这种解剖学异常很常见（占人群的15% - 20%），但只有在压迫明显时才会出现症状。在一项对16例患者（以女性为主）的研究中，观察到以下临床表现：4例左下肢静脉水肿；3例提示髂静脉炎的症状；6例肺栓塞作为周围静脉血栓形成的首发症状；3例血管发育异常恶化。所有患者均经腔静脉造影确诊为科克特综合征。13例患者手术治疗成功，手术包括动脉和静脉解交叉，并在发生肺栓塞时在腔静脉放置夹子
