The Effect of Venoactive Drug Therapy on the Development and Severity of Post-Embolization Syndrome in Endovascular Interventions on the Gonadal Veins.

To evaluate the incidence of post-embolization syndrome (PES) and the effect of venoactive therapy on its development, severity, and duration after endovascular embolization of gonadal veins (EEGV) with coils in patients with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS). We analyzed the outcomes of EEGV with coils in 70 female patients who received ( = 38; group 1) or did not receive ( = 32; group 2) treatment with a venoactive drug (VAD) before and after the procedure. Assessments of the EEGV efficacy and for possible signs of PES were done on days 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 after the intervention.
