Do you mean marfans??? Or Turner syndrome. I'm sure it's a shock and I hope your consultant can shed some light on what the treatment is and care plan x

Hello Bella160

May Thurner syndrome is an often overlooked vascular disorder effecting the large veins in your legs. It causes compression of the vein.

I suggest you give the BHF helpline a call and speak to one of the cardiac nurses who are very knowledgeable and will be hopefully be able to help you further.
