Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to quantitatively characterize the flow in the pelvic venous structures using 2D and 4D flow MRI with the objective of establishing physiologic and pathologic parameters for downstream computational fluid dynamics analysis. Arm 1: To establish the baseline flow characteristics of the iliac veins in patients with no imaging evidence of iliac venous disease. Arm 2: To assess the flow characteristics of the iliac veins in patients with left iliac vein compression syndrome (a.k.a. May-Thurner syndrome). Arm 3: To assess the flow characteristics of the iliac veins in patients status post iliac stent placement.

Major adverse events6 Months, 12 Months, 24 Months, 36 MonthsIdentification of any major adverse events experienced
Quality-of-life measure: Venous clinical severity score (VCSS)Baseline to 6 Months, 12 Months, 24 Months, 36 MonthsVenous clinical severity scale (VCSS) is used to assess chronic venous disease (CVD) severity through clinical symptoms and signs. Ten areas are scored on a range from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), depending on the presence and severity of symptoms, signs, and the use of compression therapy. The scores for each of the ten items are then combined to calculate the total VCSS score with a higher score indicating more severe disease.
