A modified transfemoral technique for testicular venography and occlusion of the testicular vein (TV) was used to treat 30 patients with a total of 43 varicoceles (17 left-sided and 13 bilateral). Occlusion was satisfactory in all left varicoceles and 90% of right varicoceles. This coaxial technique facilitates subselective catheterization of the TV and its collaterals and enables coils to be placed deep within these vessels, either alone or in combination with detachable balloons.

Purpose: To report the results of treatment of adolescent patients with varicocele with use of 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate foam (STS) in combination with pushable fibered coils.
Materials And Methods: From September 2004 to September 2006, 16 adolescent patients (age 12-19 y) with symptomatic varicocele, testicular atrophy, or surgical recurrence underwent embolization with STS foam and coils. The left internal spermatic vein (ISV) was coaxially catheterized from the right femoral vein.

The indications, techniques, complications and results of percutaneous sclerotherapy or embolization of gonadal veins for varicocele are discussed. Of our 93 patients, sclerotherapy of varicocele was technically possible in 81 cases. Sclerotherapy or embolization can be effected by different materials, such as: Histoacryl and Lipidiol mixed 1:2 to 1:4 and Aethoxysklerol, applied by a coaxial catheter system or end-opened F 6-catheter.

Between december 1983 and april 1989, percutaneous retrograde sclerotherapy of varicocele was successfully performed on 364 patients. A 5% solution of sodium morrhuate and benzylic alcohol (Varicocid) was administered through a coaxial balloon catheter inserted into the spermatic vein. 10 of the patients had relapses after surgery.

Between January 1984 and July 1988, percutaneous retrograde sclerotherapy of varicocele was successfully performed on 267 patients. A 5% solution of sodium morrhuate and benzylic alcohol (Varicocid) was administered through a coaxial balloon catheter inserted into the spermatic vein. Nine of the patients had relapses after surgery.
