Ovarian vein embolization
Pelvic congestion syndrome is a painful condition resulting from the presence of varicose veins in the pelvi. Diagnostic of the condition is done through clinical examination and one of several methods: pelvic venography, MRI and Ultrasounds
- Ovarian vein embolization is a minimally invasive intervention
- During this intervention, an interventional radiologist inserts a catheter up the femoral vein and into the faulty vein(s)
- Catheterization requires only a small nick in the skin for insertion and x-ray image guidance of the catheter to its target area The catheter delivers coils that clot the blood and seal the faulty vein
- The use of the aetoxisclerol foam agent allows the radiologist to block even the smallest veins not previously accessible
- In a small percentage of cases, the procedure is not technically possible because the catheter cannot be positioned appropriately
