Abstract:
Objective To discuss the curative effect of interventional embolization using vascular plug together with spring coil in treating varicocele.Methods A total of 15 patients with varicocele,who were admitted to authors'hospital between March 2022 and October 2022 to receive treatment,were enrolled in this study.Interventional embolization therapy by using vascular plug together with spring coil via the left elbow vein access or via the femoral vein access was carried out in all the 15 patients.The instant surgical success rate,complications,time spent for operation,average hospital stay,and postoperative clinical efficacy were recorded and analyzed.Results Successful interventional embolization using vascular plug together with spring coil was accomplished in all the 15 patients,and no complications occurred during the perioperative period.The time spent for operation was(19±12)min,and the average hospital stay was 2.3 days.The patients were followed up for one month,the degree of the scrotal varices was obviously improved,and the swelling feeling of the perineum was significantly reduced.Conclusion For the treatment of varicocele,the interventional embolization using vascular plug together with spring coil carries certain advantages,such as reliable curative effect,easy to operate,patient being more comfortable,fast recovery,and less complications.Therefore,this technique is a therapeutic approach worth further investigation.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:73-76)
