Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment by embolization with detachable fibered coils of insufficient pelvic veins, as the primary cause of Venous Origin Chronic Pelvic Pain (VOCPP).

Methods: This observational, retrospective study analyzes data from the PELVIC registry from 2014 to 2022. Sociodemographic, diagnostic, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative follow-up variables were reported.

Results: A total of 255 patients were included, with follow-up periods up to 5 years. The study's effectiveness was significant with a 60% decrease in pelvic pain at the first follow-up after treatment measured by a Visual Analogue Scale ( = 0.001). There were also decreases in the severity levels of dyspareunia ( = 0.03), dysmenorrhea ( = 0.12) and presence of Pelvic Venous Disorders symptoms in general (-43.8%; = 0.001). No major adverse events were recorded. Only 5 patients (2%) experimented technical issues in coil implantation, all of them solved in situ.

Conclusion: The treatment of VOCPP by embolization with detachable fibered coils has proven to be an effective and safe option for insufficient pelvic veins.

This case report aims to elucidate the current practices and efficacy of endovascular repair in managing splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs), particularly focusing on a case of a large, partially ruptured SAA. A 66-year-old female presented with severe abdominal pain and was later diagnosed with a 53mm saccular, degenerative SAA showing signs of partial rupture. The patient underwent successful endovascular repair using a combination of interlocking detachable coils and fibered coils.

Embolization of de novo pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) using high-volume detachable non-fibered (HVDNF) coils was compared to traditional non-HVDNF coils. Persistent-occlusion rates were evaluated. A total of 272 de novo (previously untreated) PAVM treatments were retrospectively stratified into those treated with non-HVDNF coils only ( = 192) and those treated with HVDNF coils with or without other coils ( = 80).

Article Synopsis
  • * The study assessed the effectiveness of color Doppler ultrasound (DUS) against digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in monitoring patients post-selective coil embolization for SAAs, with 80% showing successful occlusion at the 3-month follow-up.
  • * DUS demonstrated a high sensitivity in detecting aneurysm closure but low specificity; despite its limitations, it may be a cost-effective and less invasive option for follow-up in certain low-risk patients.

Coronary artery fistulas, although rare, should be included in the differential diagnosis of atypical chest pain, generally unveiled by cardiac catheterization or multidetector computed tomography. Such anatomical findings in conjunction with detectable ischemia and severe symptoms should prompt their closure. Transcatheter closure of fistulas is an attractive alternative to surgery, especially with the novel devices such as the interlock fibered detachable coils, which can be safely and effectively performed in a variety of circumstances, including the coronary arteries with tortuous anatomies.
