Posture commonly and considerably modifies stenosis of left common iliac and left renal veins in women diagnosed with pelvic venous disorder

ConclusionsPostural changes dramatically affect CSA of the LCIV and LRV and thus the degree of stenosis in women diagnosed with PVD. Stenosis found in patients while supine often disappears when the position is changed to lying on the left side or to standing. Therapeutic decisions based on assessment of CSA reduction in the supine position are likely to be inadequate.
