Extreme lateral infracondylar approach for internal jugular vein compression syndrome: A case series with preliminary clinical outcomes.

The ELI approach for IJV decompression appears to be safe for patients who are not ideal endovascular candidates due to bony anatomy. Confirming long-term efficacy in relieving debilitating clinical symptoms requires longer follow-up and a larger patient cohort. Carefully selected patients with symptomatic bony IJV compression for whom there are no effective medical or endovascular options may benefit from surgical IJV decompression.
