Summary

This prospective study will evaluate two different approaches for performing embolization to treat varicocele, a condition in which the veins around the testicle become enlarged. Thirty patients with varicocele will undergo embolization using either a transjugular approach, through a vein in the neck, or a transfemoral approach, through a vein in the groin. The choice of approach will depend on the patient's venous anatomy and the feasibility of the procedure. Patients will be followed up at one and three months after the procedure to assess treatment effectiveness, symptom improvement, and any complications.

Conditions

  • Varicocele

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Percutaneous Varicocele Embolization Using N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate (NBCA)

Percutaneous varicocele embolization will be performed under fluoroscopic guidance using a transvenous approach, either transfemoral or transjugular, according to the venous anatomy and operator preference. Selective catheterization of the internal spermatic vein will be performed, followed by embolization using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue. Technical success will be assessed by completion venography demonstrating occlusion of the targeted varicocele veins and absence of significant residual venous reflux.
