Vascular compression syndromes (VCS) are rare diseases, but they may cause significant symptoms interfering with the quality of life (QoL) of patients who are often in their younger age. Given their infrequent occurrence, multiform clinical and anatomical presentation, and absence of dedicated guidelines from scientific societies, further knowledge of these conditions is required to investigate and treat them using modern imaging and surgical (open or endovascular) techniques. This consensus document will focus on known VCS, affecting the arterial and venous system. The position paper, written by members of International Union of Angiology (IUA) Youth Committee and senior experts, will show an overview of pathophysiology, diagnostic, and therapeutical approaches for patients with VCS. Furthermore, this document will provide also unresolved issues that require more research that need to be addressed in the future. © 2023 EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA.
