Ilio-femoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is rare in patients with lower limb arterio-venous grafts due to a state of high blood flow. May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is an anomaly where the left common iliac vein is compressed by the right common iliac artery. We present a rare case of ilio-femoral deep vein thrombosis in a patient with May-Thurner Syndrome and an underlying arteriovenous graft in-situ who presented with acute lower limb swelling. The patient underwent catheter-directed thrombolysis, pharmaco-mechanical thrombectomy, venoplasty and iliac vein stenting. Follow-up surveillance duplex ultrasound showed patency of the iliac vein stent and arteriovenous graft at 1-year postoperatively.
