Cockett syndrome in Annemasse: understanding, diagnosing and treating

Cockett syndrome, also known as May-Thurner syndrome, is frequently characterized by compression or abnormality of the left iliac vein.

This condition can impede venous return from the leg, manifesting as symptoms such as a swollen leg at the end of the day or a feeling of tightness when walking.

At Dr. Seban's practice, we specialize in the treatment of Cockett Syndrome in Annemasse.

We strive to understand the relationship between your symptoms and their potential causes, explaining the implications of the proposed tests without complex jargon.

We also treat Nutcracker Syndrome, another vascular compression syndrome that we treat, and whose management requires similar expertise.

Before discussing treatment, we confirm the diagnosis with tests tailored to your situation.

Depending on the case, imaging allows visualization of the compression area and assessment of its impact.

When treatment is indicated, it may be endovascular, with the placement of a stent to restore proper passage to the vein and improve venous return.

To help you find your way around easily, we detail the steps:

• consultation and analysis of symptoms;
• selection of useful imaging examinations;
• therapeutic decision and organization of the procedure.

Contact us also if you suspect deep venous insufficiency in order to confirm your diagnosis.

After a diagnosis of Cockett syndrome in Annemasse, the goal is to limit relapses and regain a more comfortable life.

We are implementing an understandable monitoring system, with checkpoints and simple instructions to apply on a daily basis.

For example, we help you identify the signs that should prompt a follow-up consultation and those that are reassuring.

We also adapt the advice to your reality, such as standing work, frequent travel or sporting activity, in order to secure your progress over time.

In Annemasse, Dr. Seban also receives patients referred by their doctor, and ensures clear coordination with the follow-up already in place for venous insufficiency, for example.
