How Transvenous Embolization/Sclerotherapy is performed
This treatment typically involves inserting a catheter through a peripheral vein under local anesthesia or sedation, selectively entering the spermatic vein under fluoroscopic/ultrasound guidance, and performing angiography to assess reflux. Subsequently, depending on the lesion and anatomy, materials such as coils, embolic plugs, or sclerosing/adhesive agents are used to block the pathway. Postoperative monitoring of the puncture site and pain response is performed, with the goal of blocking reflux, relieving symptoms, and serving fertility plans. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
