The Effect of Spermatic Vein Embolization on Prostatic Hypertrophy

NCT00639899 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 35

Last updated 2008-03-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In varicocele the venous pressure in the prostatic bed is increased .This may result in raised hydrostatic pressure which in turn may stimulate prostatic hypertrophy.

Restoring normal venous drainage is expected to lower hydrostatic pressure followed by inhibition of prostatic growth and possibly leading regression in prostatic dimensions.

Conditions

  • Varicocele

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Sclerotherapy

Super-selective retrograde venography and sclerotherapy of internal spermatic veins and associated venous bypasses and retro-peritoneal collateral
