Measuring pelvic vein blood flow with MRI
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to measure blood flow in the pelvic veins. It’s for people who either have no vein problems, or have symptoms of a compressed left iliac vein, or already have a stent in that vein. The goal is to learn more about how blood flows in these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and not pregnant.
- You can safely have an MRI without metal implants or other problems.
- You belong to one of these three groups:
- 1. No history of pelvic vein problems or related symptoms.
- 2. Symptoms or findings suggesting left iliac vein compression (like leg swelling).
- 3. You have a stent in your left iliac vein.

This trial tests if blocking enlarged veins in the pelvis (called embolization) can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help women whose pain is worse when standing or walking and better when lying down.
This pilot study uses an MRI scan that involves an injected contrast to look at how brain blood-flow pathways are being blocked or narrowed. The goal is to better understand the kind of damage caused by these vein problems, which may help doctors monitor and plan care.
This study looks at how blood flows from the legs in people with varicose veins in the pelvis. It may help doctors understand the link between pelvic and leg vein problems.
This study follows adults with intestinal blood-flow problems (from artery or vein issues) to better understand these conditions. It may help doctors plan future diagnosis and treatments for people with sudden or long-lasting intestinal ischemia.
This trial tests whether placing a stent (a small mesh tube) in the iliac vein can help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by prior blood clots. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
This study tests whether an implanted “vein valve” system can improve blood flow in people with painful chronic venous valve leakage in the thigh/knee veins. It also checks if the procedure and follow-up are safe and workable, especially with blood-thinner medicines before and after.
