Coil Embolization Is Not Justified for Treating Patients with Veno-Occlusive Dysfunction: Case Series and Narrative Literature Review.

Department of Urology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei 10002, Taiwan.
Herein, we explore whether coil embolization (CE) is effective in treating veno-occlusive dysfunction (VOD). We present five cases with seven CE episodes and a narrative literature review. From 2013 to 2018, refractory impotence prompted five men to seek penile vascular stripping (PVS), although seven CE episodes were included.

Percutaneous testicular varicocele embolisation for symptomatic and subfertile males is often preferred over surgical ligation of the gonadal vein due to its minimally invasive approach and reduced complication rate. Glues, coils, vascular plugs, balloons and sclerosants are used in various combinations to achieve sufficient venous occlusion. Here, we report on the first known case of sclerosant material migration beyond the placement of an embolisation coil for treatment of a varicocele, resulting in a left renal vein thrombus.

Department of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Image-Guided Therapy Center, François-Mitterrand University Hospital, 14 Rue Paul Gaffarel, BP 77908, 21079 Dijon, France.
Our objective was to investigate the indications, effectiveness, and safety of Amplatzer Vascular Plugs (AVPs) in clinical practice. To retrospectively identify patients managed with AVPs at the Dijon University Hospital between January 2011 and April 2021, we searched materials vigilance registries and procedure reports. The 110 identified patients underwent 111 procedures with delivery of 202 AVPs into 118 vessels; 84% of the procedures were performed by radiologists with over 10 years' experience and 67% were scheduled.
