Venography alone may underestimate the extent of common iliac vein compression in May-Thurner syndrome. Peripheral intravascular ultrasound is mandatory to better assess common iliac vein compression.

A calcified nodule is an infrequent pathological substrate in acute coronary syndrome patients. This case demonstrates the technical challenges of intervening an eccentric, severely calcified, balloon-uncrossable coronary lesion.
